Wild sign Foligno to 4-year extension

The Minnesota Wild and forward Marcus Foligno have agreed to terms on a four-year extension worth $11.5 million, the team announced Thursday.

The deal, which carries an annual cap hit of $2.875 million, locks up the Wild's final restricted free agent.

Foligno is set to make his debut with the Wild after the team acquired him from the Buffalo Sabres this offseason. That deal saw forward Jason Pominville and defenseman Marco Scandella sent to the Sabres, while the Wild also obtained forward Tyler Ennis.

Prior to the trade to the Wild, the 26-year-old spent six years with the Sabres, finishing last season with 13 goals and 10 assists in 80 games.
