Like Mikko and Saku before them, looks the the Minnesota Wild failed to generate the brotherly love. The Athletic’s Michael Russo tweeted that, according to his sources, former Columbus Blue Jacket captain Nick Foligno will shortly agree to terms with the Boston Bruins in free agency, leaving the Wild looking elsewhere to fill their holes at the pivot position.
Sources say Nick Foligno has chosen the Boston #Bruins. No dice for #mnwild

The details of the deal haven’t been made public or official, but rumors around the twitterwebs is that the elder Foligno will sign a two-year deal at an average annual value north of $5 million - a mark that the Wild was never going to be able to match, especially after their signing of defenseman Alex Goligoski to a one-year, $5 million deal earlier today.
