Overview
- The Wild signed Nick Foligno to a one-year, $900,000 contract and Zach Bogosian to a one-year deal with a $1.25 million cap hit plus a $100,000 bonus at 60 games, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic and multiple outlets.
- The signings were reported and confirmed Wednesday and reflect the team keeping the same veteran depth pieces it used down the stretch and in the playoffs.
- Nick Foligno, 38, brings long NHL experience and the chance to play a full season alongside his brother Marcus Foligno after joining Minnesota at last season's trade deadline.
- Zach Bogosian has been a right-side veteran depth defenseman since his midseason trade from Tampa Bay and contributes physical play, blocked shots and experience including a 2020 Stanley Cup.
- Both one-year contracts limit long-term cap exposure and give the Wild roster flexibility while preserving veteran leadership and physical depth for the coming season.
