Wild sign Foligno to contract extension (4yrs, $4mil AAV)
https://www.nhl.com/wild/news/minnes...ract-extension
Quote:
Minnesota Wild President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Bill Guerin today announced the National Hockey League club has signed right wing Marcus Foligno to a four-year, $16,000,000 contract extension ($4,000,000 average annual value) that goes through the 2027-28 season.
Foligno, 32, recorded 21 points (7-14=21) and led the team with 97 penalty minutes (PIM) and 237 hits last season. Since joining Minnesota in 2017, the 6-foot-3, 226-pound native of Buffalo, NY, leads the team in PIM (415) and hits (1,159), ranks fourth in games played (396) and goals (67), fifth in points (156) and sixth in assists (89).
Foligno has collected 272 points (116-156=272), a plus-30 rating, 749 PIM, 2,182 hits and 441 blocked shots in 743 career NHL contests during parts of 12 seasons with the Buffalo Sabres and Minnesota. He has also notched seven points (2-5=7) in 28 career Stanley Cup Playoff matches. Foligno was selected in the fourth round (104th overall) in the 2009 NHL Draft by Buffalo, and made his NHL debut on December 20, 2011. He was acquired by Minnesota from Buffalo in a trade on June 30, 2017. He signed a three-year contract extension with Minnesota on January 12, 2021 and was named an alternate captain on September 25, 2021.

That's quite a ticket for a guy who is 32 years old and lasted a full 82 season ONCE and a shortened season once.

I like this one much less than the Zuccarello deal.

I love this deal! Way to go Billy! Always good when a Conference rival signs a bad deal.

$15mm of dead cap space next season. Yikes. But upshot for them is they have a terrible prospect pool so no big bridge deals or anything to deal with.

This should be an Oiler contract. It’s No Good.

I'm a fan of Marcus Foligno, and even I wouldn't give him that deal. The big guys with less skating ability and a heavier game diminish much more quickly- see Lucic, Milan.
Foligno is already steadily going downhill. He's still very useful, but his offensive numbers will continue to decrease. IMO.

Terrible deal.
Maybe 1 or 2x4M would have been ok.

The Backlund deal already looked like tidy business. This makes it look like an absolute fleecing.

I don't watch enough Wild games because I don't hate myself that much. But this seems two years too long and about a million and a half too much for intangibles.

I don’t understand this one. Who did they think they would have to compete with to get him singed for this range of money and term?
