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<p>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, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/f\/foligma01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-05-15_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Marcus Foligno<\/a><\/strong>. Fortunately for Minnesota, should Foligno return, it\u2019ll assuredly be on a much cheaper deal than his current $4.5MM salary.<\/p>\n<p>Additional notes from the Wild:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"longlis\">\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JoeSmithNHL\/status\/2055292611900936439\" rel=\"nofollow\">According to Joe Smith of The Athletic<\/a>, defenseman <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/b\/brodijo01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-05-15_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Jonas Brodin<\/a><\/strong> 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.<\/li>\n<li>Unsurprisingly, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RussoHockey\/status\/2055293124688154643\" rel=\"nofollow\">Russo indicated<\/a> that head coach <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eliteprospects.com\/staff\/781\/john-hynes\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>John Hynes<\/strong><\/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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\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&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":799564,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[42],"tags":[119714,315567,3112,293,129362,62,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-799563","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","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116581869132212289","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/799563","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=799563"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/799563\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/799564"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=799563"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=799563"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=799563"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
