The search rolls on for the fourth GM nearly a week after Minnesota Wild owner Craig Leipold made the tough decision to fire Paul Fenton. The team has already interviewed former Philadelphia Flyers GM Ron Hextall, as well as former Boston and Edmonton GM Peter Chiarelli. Those are not the only names up for consideration, though, as the team will reportedly speak to several more candidates, including current Carolina Hurricanes GM Don Waddell, who has not been offered a new contract by the team.
As the #mnwild GM search continues, they've asked permission to speak to #canadiens asst GM Scott Mellanby, who coincidentally is moving to Hudson, WI, in a few weeks (1/2)
