Nick Foligno loves Max Domi
The Columbus Blue Jackets captain, Nick Foligno was on TSN Radio and weighed in on the big trade this offseason.
“I think we gain a really good player in Max Domi,” he told the Montreal radio station. “I know things didn’t work out last year, but I remember how dominant he was a year earlier.
Foligno, who is known as one of the NHL’s best captains commented specifically on Domi’s “competitive fire”. He believes that will make him a perfect fit for John Tortorella’s Jackets. “I’m pretty excited to have him on our team.”
He was also very complimentary of Josh Anderson, and called him a great player and teammate. “He’s going to fit in really well in Montreal,” Foligno concluded.
