Thursday afternoon, just before dinner time in the State of Hockey, news spread on Twitter that Marcus Foligno, the RFA forward the Wild acquired in a trade for Jason Pominville and Marco Scandella, has signed a 4-year, $11.5 million deal with the Wild. It seemed like an awful lot to give up, especially term, for a guy that is headed for the third or fourth line. Not only that, but it’s just another signing in a pattern for Wild GM Chuck Fletcher for bottom 6 players and long term deals.
