Minnesota Wild - Team
History & Information
Despite winning the Northwest Division
the previous season, the Wild fell to ninth place in the
Western Conference in 2008–09, missing the playoffs
entirely. Much of this was in part due to a lack of scoring
and overall team offense, and the injuries to star forward
Marian Gaborik, who played only 17 games. Jacques
Lemaire, coach of the Wild since the team's inception
in the 2000–01 season, resigned as coach at seasons
end. General Manager Doug
Risebrough was later fired, leading to a nearly complete
turnover in the Wild's coaching and management staff.
In the summer of 2009, owner Craig
Leipold hired former Pittsburgh
Penguins Assistant General
Manager Chuck
Fletcher to act as standing GM. Later that summer,
Fletcher selected Todd
Richards as head coach. Once the free agency period
opened that summer, Martin
Havlat was brought over from the Chicago
Blackhawks in order to lessen the blow of Marian Gaborik's
departure. During the first month of the 2009–10
season, the team announced their first ever full-time captain,
Mikko Koivu.
