wow.

 

[Joseph Nathan]

Where’s that post earlier this summer about Marcus foligno resigning Russo literally knew this in summer

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

God f***ing damn it.

 

[Circulartheory]

Yeah, I'm on board to watch Zuccarello's deal, not on board on this one.

Feel like he's overpaid by $700k if he cannot repeat his 40pt season and I have my high doubts he can. I willing to give him a chance but as it stands, not a fan

 

[TheDoldrums]

That's a big one

 

[seafoam]

Junk deal, but obviously they love him.

 

[Muffin]

Yikes, coming off a 21 points season and looked like he was done.

 

[Wasted Talent]

Weird timing to reward him with an extension like that after his worst season in years.

 

[BLNY]

That's a lot of scratch for loyalty.

 

[HockeyVirus]

What are the wild doing the past 24 hours

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Who’s the wild fan who called this in the zucarello thread?

4x4 is crazy

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Ouch, this sucks.

 

[TF1970]

Woah

 

[f7ben]

Terrible deal , overpaying washed up 4th line grit guys. f*** Bill Guerin. This has been his MO the entire time he’s been here. Hardball with anyone who has actual talent like Fiala or Addison and rewards these idiotic meatheads with no tangible hockey skill aside from crashing around and dropping the mitts

 

[HotDish]

Why does Guerin do this to us?

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Thank you god Guerin was gone before JR quit. It’s clear he learned from him. Everything is so off the hip.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

People ripped his last contract too but it was well worth it. Foligno played all last year injured, and was pretty mediocre, but when he is on he is really a force and one of the most competent “tough” guys in the league. He would have had to have come into camp and looked pretty healthy to get this extension now. Team loves his leadership and energy too, hard to argue with the regular season results.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

God f***ing damn it.

My worse fears have been realized. Guerin is an idiot with money

 

[Malkinstheman]

Thats absolutely horrendous. Even worse signing a 33 year old Foligno this kind of deal. Id say within 1 year of the contract hes a buyout candidate.

 

[Circulartheory]

I still feel BG has done more good than harm in his overall tenure with the team and I do place some trust in their moves, so I'm not knocking the extension itself. But it does seem the player/agent got everything they wanted and team didn't push for anything back. Seems like lazy negotiating.

 

[Teemu]

Oh my word

 

[kp61c]

yeah, he's 32 and scored 7 goals in 65 games last season. 4X4 seems too generous.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

That seems like a lot and I really like the guy.

I don't catch a lot of Minny games, so maybe I'm out to lunch here.

 

[lordtrillson]

Someone please tell me 4x4 is actually not that bad cuz the cap is going to go up
