darksabre Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 I like the terms. They say exactly what I feel about Foligno. He's got potential but he hasn't earned the big contract yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 As far as I am concerned Foligno gets 2 years to prove himself. Last year he was invisible for long stretches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 As far as I am concerned Foligno gets 2 years to prove himself. Last year he was invisible for long stretches. Hopefully it's attributable to the shoulder injury he sustained that required surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biodork Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Very nice. Long enough to find out if he's the real deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 This is the best draft/FA day since... Well, probably ever. The best draft day is when they selected Perreault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 The best draft day is when they selected Perreault. Best draft day, yes, but there was no real free agency back then. There have been other draft days that were full of optimism, but I don't think there's been another combined draft day/first day of free agency that has been this positive. Perhaps there'll be another one like it next year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Mmmmmmmm, I'm inclined to think they over-paid, and that Foligno is prospering from the Sabres need to insure they're over the floor. Like I've said many times, here's hoping Foligno proves me wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Amerk Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Poor Foligno. A guy that we all love and are pulling for, but so far has always left more to be desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care about hits. I care about whether he can win board battles and get the puck to his center. I care about his forechecking and puck pursuit. So far he hasn't given me enough in those areas to be satisfied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 As others have noted, the 2-year term is a perfect fit for this guy. Who cares how much they gave him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
