Buffalo Sabres left winger Marcus Foligno will likely never be a top-line guy.
That’s just the way it is.
When I sat down to write this piece, to grade Foligno on the 2015-2016 NHL season, it was hard. Quite frankly, I was stumped.
There doesn’t really seem to be one part of his game that stands out. It seems like that’s just the kind of player he is, and maybe that changes in the future, or maybe it doesn’t.
He’s not an offensive superpower and probably never will be. Foligno put up 23 points (10-13) in 75 games this season, averaging just 0.
