Nick Foligno found himself in a rather intriguing scenario this off-season. His brother, Marcus, courted him to head to Minnesota. Patrice Bergeron pitched him to come to Boston.
In the end, Bergeron’s recruiting prowess won out. Foligno signed a two-year, $7.6 million deal with the Bruins on the first day of free agency.
Foligno spent his first two days of training camp adjusting to a tight-knit Boston locker room. Meanwhile, his brother took a playful jab with the media in Minnesota surrounding the recruiting dynamic with Bergeron.
Foligno didn’t hear about the jab surrounding Bergeron’s recruiting pitch until he met with the media following the first of two training camp sessions at Warrior Ice Arena on Friday.
