The Minnesota Wild have signed Nick Foligno to a one-year extension, the team announced on the first day of NHL Free Agency.
Foligno, who joined the Wild at the 2026 NHL Trade Deadline, will have a cap hit of $900K.
The 38-year-old forward was a pending unrestricted free agent, but the Wild opted to bring him back for another season.
Foligno's signing is a significant move for the Wild, who are looking to build on their successful season, having won 3-2 against the Anaheim Ducks on April 15, 2026.
The team is currently standing 3rd in the Western Conference with a 46-24 record, on a W1 streak.
Foligno's experience and leadership will be valuable assets to the team as they push for a Stanley Cup championship.
With Foligno's extension, the Wild will look to make a deep playoff run, and his presence alongside his brother Marcus will be a key factor in their success.
The Wild's roster is loaded with stars, and Foligno will be a solid complementary piece as a defensive-minded 4th line player.
And with the signing, Foligno will have another chance to win the Stanley Cup, which would be a great ending to his career.
But for now, the focus is on the upcoming season, and the Wild are looking to make a strong push for the playoffs.
So the signing of Foligno is a great move for the team, and it will be exciting to see how he performs in the upcoming season.
The Wild's fans are eager to see the team in action, and with Foligno on board, they will be looking to make some noise in the playoffs.
