The Minnesota Wild have found their man. It is announced today that the Wild have named Todd Richards as the new head coach. The Wild are taking a huge risk with Richards, who has just 1 year NHL experience behind the bench as an assistant coach for the San Jose Sharks last season. Richards will replace Jacques Lemaire, who resigned in April, possibly ending the defense first style of play the Wild are known for. This change in coaching follows the recent firing of Dave Tippett and hiring of Marc Crawford by the Dallas Stars.
