The Minnesota Wild signed Marcus Foligno to a 4-year contract worth $11.5 million ($2.875M AAV) yesterday. Foligno was a restricted free agent who came to Minnesota (alongside Tyler Ennis) back on June 30th, when the Wild sent Jason Pominville and Marco Scandella to Buffalo. Signing the contract ensures that Foligno will be with the team for the majority of training camp.
The 26-year-old Foligno’s numbers don’t necessarily scream “Sign me for four years!” Foligno set career-highs with just 13 goals and 23 points last year. But if you look at his advanced stats.
