History
2007-08: Foligino was acquired by the Sudbury Wolves in the 2nd round (39th overall) in the 2007 OHL Priority Selection. In 66 games, he totaled 11 points (5g+6a) in his freshman OHL campaign.
2008-09: The winger improved his numbers from last season with Sudbury (OHL), this time around netting 12 and 29 points in 65 games. His 96 penalty minutes is a big jump from just 38 last season. Added a goal and two helpers in six playoff games.
Talent Analysis
Foligno has shown a willingness and an aptitude for the physical side of the game. In his second full OHL season he also improved on his offensive game immeasurably. What's lacking is a commitment to defensive responsibility. His physicality and aptitude for the grittier aspects of the game show that he has the potential to be a solid two-way player, but it's something that a team will have to base its draft of this prospect on spec, as he hasn't shown it yet.
