Mike Foligno signed as Assistant Coach
Mike Foligno named assistant coach of Chicago Wolves. Interesting news on a non news day.

Re: Mike Foligno signed as Assistant Coach
Why did we not try to get his kid from Ottawa? We could use what I saw versus the Rangers for sure. Sometimes the lack of info coming out of Canuckland is depressing. I keep watching good players with an edge go to other teams but not ours. Chris Neil almost won the Ranger series on his own and they resign him for 3 mill per or thereabout? I wonder how the Boston SCF would have gone if we had a comparable player?
Lots of questions for me and a growing unease with Gillis.

Mike Foligno is 53 years old, well past the kid stage of his life.damonberryman wrote:Why did we not try to get his kid from Ottawa? We could use what I saw versus the Rangers for sure.

Are you talking about his son Nick who was traded to Columbus then signed?

Re: Mike Foligno signed as Assistant Coach
Well Nick was dealt to Columbus as a RFA when Ottawa and Columbus were trying to make a deal for Nash. Though apparently Nash wouldn't waive for Ottawa.damonberryman wrote:I am talking about his kid.
So perhaps Columbus wanted Foligno in that deal but since it didn't happen they put together a little side deal.
So essentially Nick likely wasn't shopped.
But lets give Gillis shit for not squiring the guy regardless

Re: Mike Foligno signed as Assistant Coach
Strange choice. The guy has moved around a lot, he was an assistant coach in the NHL and now is an assistant coach in the AHL he's trending in the wrong direction.Hockey Widow wrote:Mike Foligno named assistant coach of Chicago Wolves. Interesting news on a non news day.
