On the 23rd of September Wild owner Craig Leipold said to the press that anything other than a Stanley Cup is a disappointment. Many fans, myself included, took this as a warning to Chuck Fletcher and it does make it look like his job isn't safe if the Wild fail to make a good playoff run this year. Fletcher’s track record with the Wild is well known, and he has managed to turn the Wild into a solid playoff team that can be expected to fight for a top spot in the Western Conference, but yet he has made some bad moves as well and the team’s cap situation isn't ideal at all.
Replacing Chuck Fletcher would be difficult, but not impossible
