Assistant general manager for the Nashville Predators, Paul Fenton, is in town to interview for the Wild’s general manager position. By all reports (which you can find linked below), Fenton is the frontrunner for the position. I’m unhappy reading that.
It’s not because I don’t think Fenton is a good candidate. He helped shape a Predators squad that was in the Stanley Cup Final last year and looks like it could be again this year (if they can solve the Winnipeg Jets in the second round). Nashville is a real contender and a team that has been able to make some big moves in recent years that have helped that come to pass.
