Foligno's best season in the last three is 35 points, and Jenner hasn't topped 38 since his 30-goal season 4 years ago. The presence of either does not equal a great 1B line.

He's always had really strong advanced stats (Corsi and Fenwick both 55-60%) and last year started to come into his own offensively but injuries shortened his season. His 0.734 PPG last year would be 60 points in an 82 game season.

I think he still has a higher upside to reach and this will be a really good contract for Columbus.

Sorry was leading into my point of them being a piece away from that being the case. Bumping Foligno or Jenner down with 1 more top 6 player would really go a long way

.7PPG last year and he was PPG for the last 30 games of the season. His upside is 70+. Might not make it as not everyone does but he’s trending right.
