What happened: Foote had joined on a one-year agreement Tuesday. The club reversed course Thursday after talks with supporters, members, partners, leaders and staff.

Why it matters: The decision removes an offseason addition from Färjestad's blue line. The swift reversal leaves the club needing another defenseman before its SHL schedule begins.

By the numbers: The agreement lasted two days and had covered one season.

What to watch: Watch for Färjestad's next move on defense and Foote's search for another club.
