Last week I wrote a piece about the veterans holding the Sabres back. I purposely left out Marcus Foligno on my list of players that I think should be on the chopping block.
Despite not having a lot of goals or assists, he’s still a favorite among many Sabres fans.
Here’s why:
1. He’s from Buffalo. Being the son of Mike Foligno who played for the Sabres for 10 seasons, Marcus grew up in the 716. With the leadership of their father, Marcus and his brother Nick (captain of the Columbus Blue Jackets), both rose to NHL stardom.
