NICK FOLIGNO - Right Winger - 31 - $5.5MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2021-2022
LAST UPDATED 8/1/19
The Jackets' captain, Nick Foligno is the heart and soul of Columbus' franchise. While he isn't the near point-per-game scorer he was in 2014-15, he's still a valuable NHL player on and off the ice. Foligno is a natural power forward, with good size, strength, and hitting ability. He's willing to throw the body around to win battles for pucks along the boards and in front of the net on offense and can do the same in his own end. While Foligno's not the most natural playmaker, he's a good triggerman thanks to his very good shot and should have 20+20 upside yearly. His defense, though, is where he gets most of his value, as he can not only be trusted to handle tough defensive assignments but he can also reliably kill penalties. Foligno's isolated impact metrics support this, as he measures as a strong positive defensive play driver and a good penalty killer. A solid middle-6 two-way forward with some physical touch.
