The reasons for Mike Yeo's dismissal will be mostly focused around what the team failed to accomplish over the past couple of months, however many of his shortcomings as a coach are more deeply rooted. There are many that will scapegoat Yeo by citing Chuck Fletcher's roster construction, and while that argument has a certain amount of validity, there is no doubt that the current iteration of the Minnesota Wild roster has greatly underachieved. Five seasons behind the bench revealed some glaring deficiencies in Yeo's values and strategies as a coach.
