Confirmed with Link: [TOR/CBJ/SJS] TOR acquire Nick Foligno [75% Retained] & Stefan Noesen for 2021 1st, 2021 & 2022 4ths

[CBJWerenski8]

How is he at being in charge of the music?

better than Riley Nash

 

[Klinton]

For all the cry babies.

1. We don't know the outcome of the trade until end of year
2. Our first is going to be late pick
3. Scouting is lacking this year; so it's a crap shoot.
4. We kept all our top A prospects
5. We are only paying 25% of his salary

6. Would you rather play with Foligno on your team or against him? please think!

Stop shittting on Dubas. This is the same guy that has built this team that is in 1st place.

Bunch of cry babies who I expect to apologize to Dubas at year's end.

Start up the Series with Montreal

 

[Mad hatter]

I’d say there’s a good chance his offence picks up now he’s not playing for Tortorella and for a team creates offensive.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

You're missing the key reason; which, was clearly the salary retention. That's not cheap.

No I didn’t at all. I posted its 75% retained. I know the pists are getting covered quick but i did post that before you posted this one
Toronto Maple Leafs acquire Nick Foligno

 

[tmlms13]

The first is going to be in the high 20s in a weak draft. It's not that big of a deal.

 

[NK94]

CBJ and SJS each retained 50% of Foligno's cap hit, meaning that TOR is only charged $1,375,000.

Still lots of room to work with here, thankfully.

 

[francis246]

Hope we don't give up any more 1sts for goons that might not even make the lineup.

might not make the line up? Did you watch Columbus against us last year? Dubois and Foligno man handled us every shift. Foligno is so valuable. He is going to create so much room for JT and Willy or Matthews and Marner. Incredible forechecker: this team is going to be really hard to play against. If we can get Oleksiak to play with Bogosian I’d say we are set.

[Guided by Veseys]

This guy captained the blue jackets to a sweep against Tampa two years ago and they pushed the bolts hard again last summer. He’s a playoff warrior and a tough as nails leader. I love this trade.

 

[Azail]

Do people not realize that Barclay Goodrow cost Tampa a first last year too? Sometimes this is the cost for those type of players.

It also seemed to work out fine for them.

 

[123offtheglass]

do we still have cap space for another move?

Think they have enough to get either:

A waiver exempt D and/or G (retained depending who it is)

or

A cheap D or G heavily retained

Dubas got max retention done on Foligno which wasn't quite necessary; I think he makes a move tomorrow that may or may not use that little bit of cap space (1.075m of waiver exempt players cap hit can be buried = $0)

 

[Clark4Ever]

Very happy with the acquisition of Foligno, not so happy about the price we paid.

Hopefully, it will pay off for us in the playoffs and it will be a moot point.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

*Takes long drag of cigarette* Here's how the Leafs can still get Hall.

 

[Not My Tempo]

Legit looking at the positive side. Folgino has a lot of defensive value. He, and Nash, are going to be useful in series against teams like the Oilers. I can see Foglino getting under Draisaitls skin very easily

 

[Menzinger]

Low scoring player on a Torts coached team ... Food for thought.

Another good point. I wouldn't expect him offensively to explode but he will likely be able to produce at a higher rate here, especially if he gets some icetime on the top two lines

 

[Auston 316]

I mean no one know better than you right? After all who cares what any statistics say you watch hockey.
Shocked Dubas could get one of the Foligno brothers without trading Nylander

Lol

 

[cyris]

That's a huge leap. We're not expecting to return a superstar or draft a superstar with our first round pick... We just want it to be used wisely.

The Islanders got Palmieri + Zajac for essentially the same price (they gave up two nothing prospects along with the picks)... Let that sink in.

This!
I like Foligno. I think he is a good pick up. And I’m okay with using our first to improve the team.

But the value on this trade wasn’t good. And if you point that out some posters here seem to think it means you prefer draft picks over winning.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Retention is the reason for the 1st .. If it was full salary his value is much lower.

 

[cookie]

I think we needed some of this. Makes Engvall that much more expendable all the while opening up more offence oriented minutes for Spezza by strengthening up the PK personnel (through Nash )

 

[Morgs]

I know its probably against the grain, but I don't like it.

Foligno is a fine player and should fit in nicely on the 3rd/4th line, but we're filled with guys that fit those spots. Trading a 1st for a guy that really isn't a game changer seems..... not good? Feels like a Plekanec/Boyle pick up more than it would have spending that 1st+ on a Hall-type.

Either way though it happened. He's a good player, and I'm much happier we traded the first (hopefully very late) in a bad draft than any of our top-4 prospects. Just think there were better guys to acquire.

 

[IrishInOntario]

IF you think Foligno is a goon, go ahead and just deactivate your account

Worse, he doesn't intimidate anyone. Rather, he just takes wayyyyyy too many stupid minor penalties (took 5 in two rounds last year), while contributing little to nothing offensively.

 

[crump]

Galch Matthews Marner
Hyman. Tavares. Nylander
Kerfoot. Foligno. Mikheyev
Simmonds. Nash. Spezza

 

[CertifiedGoat]

When the first words about a guy are "great leader", "good character", and all the other BS cliches, thats not a guy I want to pay a premium for.

 

[Puckstuff]

Love that 75% retained salary by adding S.J in the deal

This is the key here.

Folingo at full salary (5.5 million) for 2 months is worth maybe a 3rd round pick. Folingo at 75 % retained is worth a 1st, easily.
