— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) February 14, 2016The Minnesota Wild brass including owner Craig Leipold and general manager Chuck Fletcher will reportedly call upon Iowa Wild head coach John Torchetti to become the interim head coach for the NHL club after relieving Mike Yeo of the position earlier in the day. Torchetti rises to the big club after spending nearly two seasons at the helm of the Wild's AHL affiliate in Iowa. Torchetti had previously been in the organization as the bench boss of the AHL Houston Aeros, which were affiliated with the Minnesota Wild until the franchise became the Iowa Wild.
