Syracuse, N.Y. -- There’s obviously a lot of talent in the Foote family, and the Syracuse Crunch could keep benefiting from it for a couple more seasons.

The Tampa Bay Lightning selected forward Nolan Foote with its first-round pick in the NHL draft. He is the son of former NHL great Adam Foote and his brother, Cal, is a defenseman for the Crunch.

The 6-foot-3 Nolan produced 36 goals and 27 helpers for Kelowna of the WHL last season. Cal, a Tampa Bay first-rounder in 2017, went 10-21 in his rookie season for Syracuse in 2018-19.

“It’s crazy to now be in the same organization in the NHL,” Nolan told reporters at the draft in Vancouver, according to the Tampa Bay Times. “We didn’t think anything of it; we just thought it would be cool. But now it’s real and I can’t wait to celebrate with him.”

The brothers played together on Kelowna but such fun on the Crunch would have to wait awhile. Nolan is 18, too young to be an AHL regular. He could join Syracuse at the end of the year if Kelowna’s season ends before Syracuse’s does.
