“Foote has struggled to stay in the NHL, partly because of injuries (especially in 2023-24), and this could be his last chance to stick with the Devils. He now requires waivers to be sent to the AHL, meaning training camp will be important for him. Fortunately, there should be a spot or two open for him to earn an NHL roster gig.” [Devils on the Rush]
