1. Marcus Foligno

Marcus Foligno wasn’t much of a popular name in the Minnesota Wild lineup until this season where he has burst onto the scene in Minnesota becoming a significant role player for the Wild and being more of that quiet leader in the locker room.

In my opinion, Foligno is a player that will keep his head up no matter where team morale may be, stick up for his teammates and provide an equal level of skill and grit that Minnesota needs to maintain.
