US EditionMinnesota Wild Acquire Nick Foligno From Chicago Blackhawks; Trade Away Vinnie Hinostroza
- On Friday, the Chicago Blackhawks traded veteran forward Nick Foligno to the Minnesota Wild for future considerations; the Wild absorbed his full $4.5 million salary-cap hit and he will reunite with his brother Marcus.
- Foligno had signaled over the last week that the 'competitor inside' wanted to play meaningful games, meeting multiple times with GM Kyle Davidson.
- This season, Foligno has recorded 11 points in 37 games but his role diminished to a fourth-line depth forward after posting 37 and 35 points in prior seasons.
- The Hawks must replace a prior leadership group after multiple veteran trades this week, with Connor Bedard and Tyler Bertuzzi serving as alternate captains while facing Foligno again soon in a March 17-19 home-and-home.
- Minnesota has been active this deadline, acquiring Bobby Brink and Jeff Petry as GM Bill Guerin strengthens depth for the Wild's playoff push while sitting third in the Western Conference with 82 points.
