Foligno Signs One Year Extension

[Brawndo]

The #Sabres have signed restricted free agent Marcus Foligno to a one-year contract.

[LGR4GM]

interesting, seems like a make or break year for him

[MattPie]

The #Sabres have signed restricted free agent Marcus Foligno to a one-year contract.

 

That doesn't seem like a vote of confidence. Does that put him UFA at the end, or is it a tiny-bridge that gets the Sabres to the next contract while he's still RFA?

[Brawndo]

Plus it's a very tradable contract

[darksabre]

That's fine. 

[Eleven]

Should be 2.475M.

[LGR4GM]

Everyone knows that Foligno is a lw and Bailey is a RW and Carrier is a lw correct? Okay sweet now can we stop flipping them all over hell.

Based on?  IIRC because he made over 1M last year the team is only required to offer him 100% of last year's salary as the qualifying offer.

 

What I don't know is if that's based on base salary or AAV.

 

Base salary makes it 2.25M minimum.

AAV makes it 1.875M

 

Given that it's only a 1 year tender I can't imagine the team is offering any more than they are required to otherwise this would have become a multi-year deal.

 

You may be right.  No time to look it up right now.  My calculation  was 110% of last year, obviously.

He passes the 180/3/60 test so since he was over 1 mill salary it's 100% of last year, one-way (QO). He obviously wanted more but took this over arbitration ('cause we know how that turns out).

[spndnchz]

Based on last year's base salary or his last contract's AAV?  I'm guessing base, but the NHLPA can't negotiate it's way out of a wet paper bag so it might be the other.

 

Salary.

 

I think Foligno took just that. One year, same as last year.

Ok, so 2.25M then.

[Huckleberry]

2.25 mill.

[LGR4GM]

So cap space, someone gets traded right?

[dudacek]

Happy he's on the team, happy with that salary.

[inkman]

He's a heavy player that knows all 3 zones. No complaints.

[Eleven]

So cap space, someone gets traded right?

 

Going to have to be.  Less than $7M left.

[LGR4GM]

Going to have to be.  Less than $7M left.

but does that count the 1.5mil for Cody C LTIR?

[French Collection]

I heard Marcus is getting married this weekend. A guy at work lives on the same lake as Mike F. May be some Sabres in Sudbury if true.

[Lanny]

Going to have to be.  Less than $7M left.

General Fanager has it projected at around $9.6 with McCormick on LTIR.

[TrueBlueGED]

General Fanager has it projected at around $9.6 with McCormick on LTIR.

Does that also count Cal O'Reilly and crew in the AHL? Last I checked the site had him and a few others counting against the cap.

[GASabresIUFAN]

Only players left to sign are Risto and Girgensons. They'll cost at most 6.5.

 

Foligno's contract is his qualifying offer. If Carrier continues to develop, this one year deal may be his last with us. FYI he'll be a RFA after next season.

[Eleven]

General Fanager has it projected at around $9.6 with McCormick on LTIR.

 

Yes.  My source--Harrington on Twitter--has revised as well.  Thinks it's closer to 9 than 9.6 though.

[GASabresIUFAN]

One other note; McCormick going on LTIR adds 1.5 million in cap space. Also Franson could also be waived and sent down to clear up more cap space. I think this could very well happen if Nelson has a great camp. Frankly demoting Franson would help our kids down in Rochester.

Franson belongs in Rochester.

[dudacek]

Not a Franson fan, but he's just 28 and prior to last year scored at over a 30-point pace five years in a row.

He's not a minor leaguer.
