Prediction: BG signs Duhaimzy for a cheap short term deal, which is what he deserves and what makes BG an effective GM.

Mikki, you're dead on, but what, no stats?

'22-23 9-1-10   +6

As Pewter says above, cheap short term deal. These stats, to me, suggest 2 X $1m as his next contract, could see 3 X $1.2m. This is exactly where we need a player like this to be. He adds way more value than the stats above and should we lose Foligno, we'll need him and his physicality. 

I believe he is a priority signing. He could definitely be part of the future here, and he fits in with the up and coming identity of being pretty fast. He'll keep up.

Certainly embodies the grit first mentality. Looking all the way back to 2013, he doesn't have a single season where he's scored more than 15 goals, minors or pro, so you aren't expecting much offense, but he brings a physical game that can make things difficult for the opposition.

Dewey 1 is a late bloomer, faster version of "Moose" and I hope they sign him to a 3 year 1.75/yr deal. My feeling is that Foligno is not in the extension plans of the Wild and they will trade him for salary cap relief to team that will fit him in return for all those years of dedication and leadership. It's time for the next generation and I will miss da Moose!
