The Wild may again be in the market for a new general manager. After 9 seasons with the Wild, Chuck Fletcher, the Wild’s 2nd franchise GM, still does not have a contract past this year. With the teams he’s constructed floundering in the playoffs now each of the last six season, only twice getting past the first round, Wild principle Owner Craig Leipold will have to search again someone to manage his team.
The problem is it’s incredibly difficult to know who is available and if they’d even be interested in a job with Minnesota. Minnesota has some steep contracts, six of them to be exact, having some form of No-Move Clause.
