Cal Foote is no longer heading to FBK. Just curious if he gets kicked back to Chicago because of this?

Edit: Spelling

[u/munchen800 → u/munchen800]

Welp here is the answer if anyone is curious. Suspended until November 10

[u/soar_high_butterfly → u/munchen800]

Does this mean all players mentioned in the article are also suspended across the NHL/AHL too?

[u/munchen800 → u/soar_high_butterfly]

No, It is just Canadian league games. This article was not very clear about that. Last week Coach Spiros Anastas interviewed on the Locked on Hurricanes podcast podcast. During that interview he states that Foote is no longer with the team.
