The busy summer for Chuck Fletcher is officially complete and the 2017-18 season is upon us as training camp opens today.
The final task on Chuck Fletcher's summer to do list was to get a new contract for RFA Marcus Foligno. That was completed yesterday as Foligno put his signature on a new $11.5 million, four year deal.
Foligno will make 2 million this season, 3 million next year, 3.5 million in 2019-20, and 3 million in 2020-21.
Overall a good deal for both sides that will keep the 26 year old Foligno here for the next four seasons, at a cap friendly number.
Fletcher has been very creative with his contracts this offseason a practice that will need to continue as the Ryan Suter, Zach Parise contracts begin to become a burden on the Wild cap and as the younger Wild players come off of the entry level deals.
Training Camp 2017-18 is finally here!!! There are not a lot of roster spots open on this Wild team, but the competition at camp may be the fiercest we have seen in years as there are a lot of veterans with NHL experience here, along with the young kids trying to establish themselves. Looking forward to seeing which players really step up.
The Wild have 58 players in camp. 34 forwards, 18 defensemen, 6 goailes
