What happened: The 27-year-old right-shot defenseman joins from the Chicago Wolves. His contract runs through the 2026-27 season.
Why it matters: The move returns Foote to Europe after a 2024-25 season in Slovakia and one year back in North America. Färjestad adds a defense-first option with NHL and championship experience.
By the numbers: Foote was selected 14th overall in 2017 and has 19 points in 141 NHL games. He recorded three goals and 30 points across 38 Slovak Extraliga games in 2024-25.
What to watch: Färjestad's preseason pairings will offer the first indication of Foote's role and workload.
