given how thin we are at lw

ennis, maybe
kane
foligno
carrier
moulson (yuck)
nylander


is foligno an important piece moving forward?

realistically he is a 3rd liner when we are good

- homiedclown

He has never scored over 10 goals in a season. He is at 8 now. Might be a reason we end up being good .

Speed, toughness, heart. Yeah, if you can lock him down at a reasonable price, he's a nice player who can get you 10+ goals

If he has reasonable contract demands.

He's a fine player but he's not worth much more than he's already getting

- chilliard77

if you keep kane

you have nylander


that leaves carrier or foligno for the 3rd line moving forward

do you roll 3 lines with ror, eichel and reinhart on the dot or move 1 to the wing moving forward?

Foligno has been progressing every year . But at a slower pace than we would want . But he was a 4th rounder.

Overall and game to game he's the best he's ever been this year. The skeptic would say that's because it's a contract year, but if you look at his brother, he followed a similarly long development path.

Is Marcus now, or will he ever be as good as Nick? No. But Marcus has molded his game to a nice point. Someone is going to give him a deal, and I think it should be us

Mike Rodak ESPN Staff Writer

New Jaguars coach Doug Marrone said Thursday he is "with people that I love being around" when asked why he wouldn't quit the Jaguars' job as he did in Buffalo. An interesting answer that suggests his relationships with Bills GM Doug Whaley and/or president Russ Brandon were strained when Marrone used an opt-out clause to leave the Bills after the 2014 season.

And 30 teams passed on him for three rounds. It doesn't change the fact that Foligno has achieved more than the vast majority of 4th round picks. It's like winning $50 buck on a scratch off and being mad it isn't $100

They would absolutely miss his style of play with how he has been playing this year, and he will only be 26 at the start of next year, but talk about a sneaky deadline deal or post season deal.

I think he would get a solid return.
