I assume Foligno was included to balance the number of contracts in and out for Boston. We're still technically in the 2022-23 season and all their upcoming UFAs are still under contract until Friday night.

They probably couldn't take on two contracts without sending two out.

It's like when the Flames sent Leopold to Florida in the Bouwmeester trade. Both players were days away from free agency but it kept the contract numbers the same.
