Michael Russo of The Athletic: Sources have said that the Minnesota Wild have already interviewed Ron Hextall and Peter Chiarelli for their vacant GM position.
The Wild still plan on interviewing more candidates and there is no timetable to name their new GM.
Other candidates include Dean Lombardi and Garth Snow. It’s not known if they’ve asked permission to speak with Tom Fitzgerald, Bill Guerin or Bill Zito – all three were interviewed last offseason.
Don Waddell was the Carolina Hurricanes president and GM last season and is without a contract.
