Whoaaa

 

[Mr Clutch]

Wow

 

[BonMorrison]

Seems terrible but I don’t watch him play

 

[ThatGuy22]

If there is a NMC in this that requires him to be protected during expansion I might have a stroke.

 

[Dr Quincy]

Have I just not been paying attention to MIN the last 2 years? I mean, is this a good thing to do?

 

[PAZ]

Does Guerin know there's a pandemic going on and that he's in a flat cap world?

 

[Revansky]

Higher than I expected but not by much. I was expecting 2,5 per year in the current context.

If there wasn't expansion next year, the contract is fine for what he does relatively. Maybe slightly high.

But it doesn't make much sense with upcoming expansion.

Unless they’ve already made the decision to go 7-3.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Solid player but seems like a very silly deal

 

[Mickey Marner]

Good defensive player, but that's not cheap for a full-time bottom-sixer.

 

[ThatGuy22]

Unless they’ve already made the decision to go 7-3.

Or BG wants to ensure 2/3rds of the third line is back, doesn't care which one of Greenway/Foligno get selected.

 

[TGWL]

I would have expected 2 years, and probably a signing closer to the deadline, didn't seem like one that needed to get done right now for 3 years with a guy looking to stay.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

This is a "meh" deal at best for the wild

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Guerin should have let the market decide his value.

 

[Gurglesons]

Lol. Wild gonna wild.

Cue that one psycho Minnie fan who says Foligno is going to be the captain eventually.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Is he will physical and a bit of shit disturber ?

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Not terrible to be honest, Foligno is a very good depth player. Only issue is that they could have signed this after expansion but I doubt they protect him anyway and if Seattle takes him then it at least saves Soucy and Greenway. He is definitely worth the price tag, but it does make things trickier when it comes time to re-sign a few key young players.

Can't see Seattle taking Foligno over Greenway, unless they want some immediate leadership. 3 years at 3 million makes it less likely Seattle takes him over a controlled RFA like Greenway. I don't understand the immediate need to sign him either.

I like Folingo...he’s a much better hockey player than the simple offensive counting stats suggest. I don’t even know if this is significant overpayment either - if he had hit the market this summer, a lot of teams would be looking to add him to their bottom 6.

And yet it still feels like a 3 year commitment at over $9 million at this point in time feels a bit...unnecessary?

He's a beast & protects wild players. Also very vocal & leads

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Seems like a pretty bad contract in a flat cap era....

Actually it's not because wild have t hff e cap & room. He's also beloved in the locker room, & a leader, very vocal leader

 

[Nighthock]

Weeeew, I initially read that as 31 mil. Damn near fainted.

I mean, it’s still bad, but not fainting bad.
