I know I'm in the small minority; but I like Foligno for the Leafs a lot and I think while expensive could be a big time factor in helping the Leafs. I'd rather Foligno fill in for the Leafs than Hall 9 times /10.

You can say that about any pick really. The Leafs should be picking in the mid to late twenties. Foligno is one of the better fits you guys coulda acquired.

I personally just don’t understand the need for another veteran. We already have five.

Also bothers me that he only has one year left and is a UFa after this year.

Foligno is arguably better than all combined. Last year he was very good. This year hes dipped slightly.

This year hes dipped slightly but he's still a good 5 on 5 player and actually useful in special teams.

If he even improves slightly due to actually getting a real shot at a cup on a deep team - you could see just how good he really is.

And thats life. If you wanna win you have to pay. The Isles and Tampa both got better and the Isles still can get better. You'll likely have to go through one of them and theyre both very deep.

Because Foligno if tough to play against and you never have too much experience. And he brings everything TOR needed... versatility, defensive awareness, etc

I also think hes one of the more underrated vets. Even with a dip this year - he's still better than most of the leafs depth options and for sure better than kerfoot, jumbo, simmonds, galch, spezza; etc. I'd think this motivates him and we see him return to last years form - and he hasn't even been bad like someone people think.

idk, I would have said that about Barclay Goodrow as well...


If they go far, it will be worth it, but this has potential to be a complete fleecing from the jackets.

I feel like a first for Foligno is an overpayment but the market had been set

It makes comments on the Leafs not losing the trade so badly (including mine) look dumb but lol..

Foligno is VERY likely going to resign with CBJ in the summer anyways lool from NHL sources.

But hey maybe he brings a cup back to Ohio!

I don't think it makes those comments look dumb. The Leafs bought him as a rental; where he chooses to sign, so long as it's not Toronto, has no impact on the outlook of the trade from a Toronto perspective, imo. Wherever he goes, if he's not wearing a Cup ring, it's a sh*tty trade for the Leafs.

I really feel bad for the cool leafs fans. They get outshined by the stupid ones and all the trolls pretending to be leafs fans. It’s really a shame that they get this reputation.

As with most fanbases. I mean we all do something dumb every now and then evaluation wise but with the biggest fan base comes a lot more stupidity. I mean we’ve all see some crazy leaf players evaluations.

I want to see people apologize to Brendan Smith. Everyone wrote him off, everyone said he was an AHLer yet he's very very quietly been having a great season so far. I believe Miller's arrival really removed pressure off his shoulders.

Resign him as a number 7 guy, Gorton!

Pretty much my thought. Panthers fans don’t have this reputation because there aren’t any. Except @VIJAYPATEL11, he’s the whole fanbase ( I’m just joking, don’t take it personal bud wink )

Saskleleaf, both Mitchmarners, @Pleasebanmeformyowngood(he and I have gone a long way, we couldn't stop arguing like a year ago) among others are very cool and fun to interact with
