He told TSN that Boston's Children's Hospital was a major factor in his coming here

He's only 33 and its only 2 years $4mil is a bit much but I'm okay with it.
Have to think there is a move in place to send money out. Hoping for a top paring LHD then announce the DK contract

Thankfully it’s only 2 years. Not a fan of the AAV, though. I wonder if this means no Krejci.

he spoke to Bergy37 too before signing
It's 2 years. 3 or 4 would have been rough. Two, you are getting at least one good year out of him and probably both will be okay given the role he will be playing. If not, meh, you have a guy with a year left that fell off a cliff. Not a big deal.

I could be wrong, but I’m thinking this means no Krejci.

1. Only 2 years not 5
2. Only 4 M not 6 M
3. Foligno excellent fighter - certifiably tough as a spaghetti Western bad guy
4. Legit high end technique wise body checker

I was feeling pumped for the future after the Haula and Nosek deals, and in one fell swoop Sweeney just burst the optimistic bubble by committing that money to Nick Foligno.
Sounds like he's a nice guy, will probably be a good teammate, and not a bad player. Just I don't like the deal, we have holes in the D core that need addressing and still need to finalize Kretchy, and he's committing $3-$4 million to Nick Foligno? I'm not happy.

Put me in the camp of loving these forward additions
All of em.
And yes, our Bruins are better and tougher than they were going into the playoffs this season.

I'm okay with the term.... 2.5-3 would have been much much easier to swallow given his production in recent years.
