The Minnesota Wild have made it official and have announced Monday afternoon that Paul Fenton as their guy. A news conference is scheduled for Tuesday to officially announce Fenton as the third GM in franchise history.
Additionally, Fenton will carry the title of “Alternate Governor,” a title that former GM Chuck Fletcher also had along with Team President Matt Majka. The Board of Governors is (usually) the principle team owner and actively votes on decisions that affect league policies, rules, and uphold the league constitution. Majka, and now Fenton are the appointed alternates in case Wild owner Craig Leipold, who is also the Governor, is unable to vote.
