The deal will be for a total of $9.15 million, according to the Columbus Dispatch.

Foligno, 24, was a restricted free agent whose rights were traded by the Ottawa Senators to the Columbus after the season.

Last season with the Senators, he scored a career-high 47 points in 82 games with 124 penalty minutes.
