Everytime i bring up this argument in terms of Gionta on the PP (or on the team for that matter), this is the response i get: "He's fine if he's on the third or fourth line." Of course Foligno doesn't belong in the top 6. He is an effective player on third line at around 3 mil.

I have no problem with Foligno as a fourth liner but he's already making more money than he's worth.

What is his qualifier going to be this year now? 2.5 mil?

You don't pay Marcus Foligno 3 million dollars a year.

He's effective and physical, something this team has almost none of, and he's going to command a reasonable salary. He's a complimentary piece, not a core piece.

So is a guy like carrier who still has upside and brings the same type of game with more speed at a cheaper rate

Read for years but didn't enter the fray till recently.

I thought I remember the babcock one but at first I thought that was your itinerary. I was like wow, he needs to fire his travel agent. How many stops does he have? Isn't he flying from out west?

He's a piece that is not worth 3 mill a yr, any GM that gives him that should never have a job in the NHL again. This team has more important pieces to worry about the Foligno.Tanner Glass is " complimentary" as well and he's what 925 K if that ? Foligno with Eichel, no wonder why players and coaches around the NHL still consider us a joke.

I travel a lot for work. I haven't since December though, so I'm getting an itchy foot.

Foligno making 3 mill is a joke and that's reality. We have enough crap contracts why add more. You do not pay this guy 3 mill a yr, no way in hell.

I'm sorry but his career high is 23 points. That's no 3rd liner on a good team and not worth 3 mil

McGinn's $3.3 and he scored 16 points this past year (albeit on a bad team). I think Foligno adds a toughness element that we need, and that Mcginn doesn't. The McGinn contract shows that a 3m 3rd liner isn't a bad deal, though
- jcragcrumple


Moulson straight up for McGinn both have 2 years left on their deal, would the Coyotes do it?
Moulson 81 14 18 32 -4
McGinn 72 9 8 17 -23

His career year which was this year. Like I said, I'd go jarnkrok type deal, but Foligno will get a raise from 2.25 mil, and he's definitely worth it. Sabres fans are just jaded on him

I don't really consider 23 points a career year. He played with Eichel most of the year and that's all he could do. He just isn't anything special is all

I thought he actually played his best hockey with Larsson, not Jack. My point is, special players get paid more than 3 mil. hard-nosed, third line guys who score double digit goals get around 3 mil
