I Hate Blake Coleman
Bandwagon Burner
Just curious what the value is on this guy. He just came off a down year after exploding for 70+ points two seasons ago. He signed a six year contract for 5.5 million. What's he worth?

If he regains his mojo and puts up 50-55 points this season, I would say he is worth his contract. Don't really see the Jackets moving Nick any time soon. Why sell low on their captain?
God no.
Lupul only has 2 years left.
Well that means he's still got 25 games in him.
To the question of what is he worth...
Because of his off-year and the fact he has just the one year of top offensive output plus his contract makes him worth "not enough" in trade. Jackets are OK (not great) financially now, so there's no reason for them to look to trade a devalued asset.
Whether people believe he can return to being a 55-60 point producer or whether he'll be worth his contract or whether he's destined to be a steaming pile of crap for the rest of his career is pretty much all immaterial. Thread could go on for three pages of CBJ fans saying he'll be OK and other teams' fans saying no way man. Jackets are better off holding and figuring on improvement than trading Foligno.
Last season, Foligno had 26 points in 39 games (55 point pace in 82) and 9 points in 8 games leading up to a dirty headshot from Brad Malone and a concussion.
Your wrong, Foligno had 37 points in 72 games.

It's (42 point pace in 82).
The year before that he had a great season (73 point in 79 games), but before that he had between 30 and 45 points per season.
Also he have a to big contract (5.5 until 2021) and if Columbus want to trade him, they will have to retain parts of his salary or take a bad contract for him.
Foligno has played in 38 of his club’s 41 games this season, scoring six goals and 24 points.

I'm right. Please re-read my comment and see that I was obviously talking about the period before the concussion.
When the hit took place, Foligno had this:
Then he got the concussion and missed six games. His production after coming back was nowhere near his production before the concussion.

So at the half way point, he was on a 50pt pace, after that he was on a 30pt pace. If he wasn't healed from his concussion then he shouldn't have been playing. Also, 50pts is not that far off from what he is capable of, he's had a season of 47 and close to 40, 50 isn't something he can't hit from time and time again, but being a 70pt guy again? That was an outlier.
God no.
