Foote agreed to terms on a one-year deal with AHL Chicago on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Foote last played for Slovakian club Liptovsky Mikulas HK back in 2024-25, generating 30 points in 38 games. For now, he'll be on a minor-league deal only, but he could play his way into a two-way contract with an NHL team.

The NHL announced Thursday that Foote will be eligible to resume game action Dec. 1, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Foote hasn't appeared in an NHL game since January of 2024, and he's an unrestricted free agent after the Devils didn't give him a qualifying offer ahead of the 2024-25 campaign. Foote was charged in connection with an alleged sexual assault but was acquitted of all charges in July. Per Johnston, contracts can be registered with the NHL on Oct. 15, and the players can begin conditioning with a team Nov. 15 and appear in a game Dec. 1. It seems possible that Foote will draw some interest once he's eligible to return.

Foote (personal) will become an unrestricted free agent after the Devils didn't give him a qualifying offer Sunday, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

On Feb. 28, Foote was charged in connection with an alleged sexual assault that took place in June 2018 following a Hockey Canada event in London, Ontario.

Foote (personal) has been directed to surrender to London, Ontario police to be charged with sexual assault in connection with an alleged incident that occurred during a 2018 Hockey Canada event, TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to TSN, Foote and four other individuals, including three NHL players, are expected to surrender before the London Police Service holds a press conference Monday to issue a public update on the case. The five individuals are accused of sexually assaulting a woman at a London hotel on June 19, 2018, following a Hockey Canada Foundation golf and gala event. Foote remains on the non-roster list while on an indefinite leave of absence from the Devils.

Foote was transferred to the non-roster list Thursday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Foote is away from the team to address a personal matter. His move to the non-roster list frees up a spot on the 23-man roster for the Devils.

Foote is taking an indefinite leave of absence from the Devils, the team announced Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Foote will leave the club for an unknown amount of time while attending to a personal matter. If the defenseman is expected to be away long term, he could be placed on non-roster injured reserve, which would give the Devils an extra spot on the 23-man roster.

Foote was recalled by the Devils on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jonas Siegenthaler (foot) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move, so Foote could get an extended look with the big club. The 25-year-old defender has collected nine points through 24 AHL appearances this year.

Foote was reassigned to AHL Utica on Thursday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Foote didn't get into a game during his stint in the NHL. The 24-year-old defenseman's reassignment suggests Colin Miller (lower body) may be close to returning.

Foote was recalled from AHL Utica on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

In a corresponding move, Tomas Nosek (lower body) was placed on injured reserve. If Colin Miller (undisclosed) is still unavailable, Foote will probably serve as an extra defender against Montreal on Tuesday.

Foote was put on waivers by New Jersey on Wednesday, per Chris Johnston of TSN.

EDGE Analysis

Foote had two goals, seven points and 63 PIM between Nashville and Tampa Bay last season. Although Foote is likely to start the campaign with AHL Utica, it wouldn't be surprising if he gets a chance to play with the Devils at various points during 2023-24.
