Minnesota has had initial contract talks with Marcus Foligno.July 27, 2017 | 05:51 AM

Foligno's agents have apparently had five potential arbitration cases to deal with, while the Wild have been keeping busy as well. "We've given them the parameters of where we see it, and I'm sure we'll hear back from them shortly and go from there," GM Chuck Fletcher said. "I kind of expected we'd be speaking with Marcus more in August than we would in July." Foligno was acquired from Buffalo at the end of June and he is a restricted free agent.
