The Chicago Blackhawks pulled off another NHL trade deadline deal on Friday. The club did right by their captain, Nick Foligno, sending him to the Minnesota Wild. The Blackhawks didn’t get anything in return as the move was for “future considerations.”
The deal not only reunites the Foligno brothers but also gives their former captain a chance to win a Stanley Cup.
As ESPN’s Emily Kaplan noted, the Blackhawks didn’t trade Foligno because they didn’t want him. It was a question of doing the right thing for Foligno.
The Wild are trading for Blackhawks captain Nick Foligno, where he can play with his brother Marcus per sources.
