forward is going to have a heck of a good New Years Eve. The veteran forward who plays in his 500th career NHL game Wednesday night and earlier in the day, he inked a six-year extension worth a reported $33 million with Columbus. That's a pretty good day.Foligno has been one of the Blue Jackets' best players this season. He leads the George Blanda Jersey team with 17 goals and is tied for the club lead with 31 points heading into Wednesday night's action."Nick has been an important contributor to the growth of our team over the past two years and keeping him in the Blue Jackets family has been a priority," Columbus GM Jarmo Kekalainen said. "The fact that we were able K.J. Wright Jersey to get this deal done is a testament to Nick's commitment to our team and this community and we couldnt be more excited that he will be a Blue Jacket for many years to come."In the middle of what is by far his best NHL season to date, Foligno has become a central figure in the Blue Jackets' top six. He is just eight points away from tying last season's point total of 39 in 70 games. Hes played Kolton Miller Jersey in just 33 this season. Foligno also is shooting at a 23 percent clip. That is certainly unsustainable, but he has been an important player in other areas as well. Expecting a season like this to be the norm for a guy that has been in the league eight seasons is probably unwise, but with the way he's being paid, they'll have to hope he doesn't drop off too much.The new deal comes with a $5.5 million cap hit as the 27-year-old certainly picked a great time to have a career year. Foligno was Richard Seymour Jersey due to hit free agency this year in what would have been a very soft market. It is very likely he Gene Upshaw Jersey would have been able to command and get this kind of contract from a number of teams looking for a strong forward that has a good two-way game.With the salary cap rising, we could see more deals like this one anyway. Keeping Foligno and paying him like this suggests the Blue Jackets view him as a core player. The former first-round selection of the Ottawa Senators has 237 points in 499 NHL games coming into Wednesday.
