Leopold was traded to the Wild last March after a well-publicized letter from his daughter Jordyn went viral, eventually earning her the NHL's Social Media Moment of the Year Award.
Her father's time with the team was productive. Initially acquired for depth, Leopold became a regular and played in nine postseason games.
