With the 14th overall pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, the Tampa Bay Lightning selected defenseman, Callan Foote, from the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL. Callan is the son of two-time Stanley Cup Champion, Adam Foote.
Last season, Foote recorded six goals and 51 assists in 71 games with the Rockets.
Here is his scouting report courtesy of Elite Prospects:
An assertive two-way defenceman who reads plays quickly and understands both the offensive and defensive sides of the roles he is put into. He plays a consistent game and can be trusted to create chances from the back end on special teams. He uses his size to gain leverage against other players, though he isn't an overly physical force. His hockey sense is outstanding, and his ability to not just read but start and, on the odd occasion, finish plays is overtly indicative of his high talent level. (Curtis Joe, EP 2017)
