In this morning\u2019s end-of-season media availability, veteran forward Nick Foligno<\/a> touched on his future with the Minnesota Wild and his playing future in general. According to Michael Russo of The Athletic<\/a>, Foligno stated that he would love to return to the Wild next season, but will first decide whether he wants to continue playing.<\/p>\n

Minnesota acquired the 38-year-old Foligno at the deadline in a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks. He performed admirably, scoring one goal and adding four points in 17 regular-season contests, with two additional goals and three points in 11 postseason games. His two playoff goals came in the series-clinching loss against the Colorado Avalanche in Game 5 of Round Two.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no surprise that retirement is a legitimate question for Foligno. As soon as the Wild acquired him, it had all the makings of a swan song, playing out the final days of his career with his brother, Marcus Foligno<\/a>. Fortunately for Minnesota, should Foligno return, it\u2019ll assuredly be on a much cheaper deal than his current $4.5MM salary.<\/p>\n

Additional notes from the Wild:<\/p>\n

According to Joe Smith of The Athletic<\/a>, defenseman Jonas Brodin<\/a> revealed his playoff ailment to the media. Brodin shared that he broke a toe bone after blocking a shot in Round One, a fracture that required surgery. It\u2019s more of the same for Brodin, who has not registered 70 or more games in a single season since the 2021-22 campaign.
\nUnsurprisingly, Russo indicated<\/a> that head coach John Hynes<\/a> isn\u2019t expected to depart this offseason. The question is fairly typical after a team is bounced from the playoffs, especially a team as talented as the Wild. Hynes has been the main bench boss in Minnesota since the 2023-24 campaign, guiding them to a 125-78-24 record (.604 W%) in that time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In this morning\u2019s end-of-season media availability, veteran forward Nick Foligno touched on his future with the Minnesota Wild…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":645923,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[92658,268908,4828,385,132378,99],"class_list":["post-645922","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-john-hynes","tag-jonas-brodin","tag-minnesota-wild","tag-nhl","tag-nick-foligno","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645922","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=645922"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645922\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/645923"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=645922"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=645922"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=645922"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
