LGR4GM Posted May 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) In what world does a guy coming off a career year with 11 goals get $4 million? Eleven's right. The $2.5 is tough to swallow. They certainly will qualify him however. Foligno had value. This reminds me of the Stafford talks. Foligno is worth 2.5 until he can show consistency.

Trettioåtta Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Foligno is trash 9/10 games and then in the tenth game decides to use his body to bully the puck to the net rather than dangle and give the puck away. If it were me, I would let him walk and rot in the AHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted May 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Johan Larsson scored as many goals as Foligno, 2.5 would be more than enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 3rd line center is more valuable than a 3rd line winger imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foligno was effective - the player we should have expected him to be, not the mirage he was his first dozen NHL games - nine out of ten games he played with Gionta and Larsson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foligno was effective - the player we should have expected him to be, not the mirage he was his first dozen NHL games - nine out of ten games he played with Gionta and Larsson Definitely. Foligno was solid this year and found a good bit more consistency. Hope we lock him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerme1 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Yep, that run at the end of the year. The unforgettable comeback game against Toronto for Marcus poking the puck in after a ten second scrum in front of the net that I'm pretty sure we all would have blown a gasket on if it happened against us. It was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pi2000 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) Wasn't it Roy or Leopold? I like how the ref is looking around for the puck... it goes in the net, he still doesn't see it but hears the horn go off, then looks in the net and makes the goal signal Edited May 10, 2016 by pi2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
