Filed under: Wild, Western, Trade Deadline
After a slow start to Todd Richards' second season as head coach, there was much consternation in Minnesota. Could the Wild -- a picture of management stability with Doug Risebrough and Jacques Lemaire running things from the franchise's birth -- be about to make another coaching change?The players had other ideas. Buying into Richards' system and philosophy, the Wild could be on the verge of making the playoffs.
As of Friday morning, Minnesota sits in sixth place in the West, but just two points separate them from 11th place. With captain Mikko Koivu out with a broken finger, and power forward Guillaume Latendresse still on the mend, general manager Chuck Fletcher has to make a tough decision at the trade deadline.
He won't sell, but should he buy, or hold off on adding more salary to a team close to the cap?
