He began as kind of a defensive liability, but I think he improved 10 fold in the last season (60 games).

I agree, he improved his defensive game, but there's still some room for improvement. Plus, I'd like him to be able kill penalties.

Foligno's good defensively, as I recall he was most impressive up until he broke his leg which he did blocking a shot nicely.

He could be a good solid 2-way responsible player, he's still young.

Regin's just much more offensively talented and fun to watch. I think he has more upside, he'll make highlight reels for sure.

still no word on this signing.....hmmmmm

Has he confirmed the dollars? Is anyone else confirming this?

Ithink he confirmed the $$s as well, yeah. It was supposed to be done by now though.

Would be nice to see a presser from the Sens... unless this is part of a sign and trade... for Savard....................

let's get Savard already! haha I have a feeling that deal would blow up in our face...no matter how awesome it sounds to have him.

Anyways, Foligno talked about his contract and said he's close. As per Don 'the biatch' Brennan:

Foligno, a restricted free agent,
hopes to get a deal done with the Senators soon. It appears all that
needs settling is term. “We’re just talking right now, but I think it’s
close to being finalized,” he said. “I love playing in Ottawa. I hope
things work out. It’s about finding the right amount of time that will
allow me to become the player I know I can be.” ...

Looks like SensChirp jumped the gun... if we are to believe The Biatch.

haha I hate the biatch so I'm always hoping he's wrong. But its entirely possible that the term is still being discussed as Foligno says. Or for some odd reason, its posturing. Like how we all knew the sens had signed Roman Wick but then didn't make it official until like last week or something.

Who knows... I guess we'll have to wait for official word... as always...

Okay, Perron gets 2.2, so Foligno takes the 1.2 and he should be happy about it.

Perron got $2.15M/year.



2-year, $4.3M contract.

Finally announced:

Nice, official finally.

Nice. My faith in Chirp has been restored...and that dude from HF boards

Now that this is no longer a rumour, what would be a good word to describe the status of this matter?
