Per The Athletic’s Michael Russo, Penguins’ assistant general manager is one of many (and we mean many!) candidates interviewing for the Minnesota Wild’s vacant GM job.
Things are in the very early stages after what sources say were the initial interviews of former Philadelphia Flyers GM Ron Hextall and former Edmonton Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli last week.
Leipold has talked on the phone with several candidates, sources indicate, including current Carolina Hurricanes GM and president Don Waddell and former Tampa Bay Lightning GM Brian Lawton.
