Wild coaches Dean Evanson & Bob Woods are fired

[raidergrad72]

Just learned on Channel 5 that the Wild coaches were fired today. No replacements were yet named.
In this case, Guerin is to partially blame for extending contracts of some aging players but they're also still paying the price for Leopold's signing of Suter & Parise to those other world contracts. Both examples really cramped the salary cap. And where are Suter and Parise today?
But the coaches necks are almost always the first necks in the rope.
Wonder if they'll offer the job to Hendrickson, which would be his second go around.

Hendrickson has been with the franchise since the start and how much success beyond marketing to fans has the team had?

Russo says John Hynes is the new guy. Have to say I've never heard of him.

Neither have I but I will say the past few years I don't pay attention to the league going ons as I used to.

Hynes has 8 years of coaching experience. He was fired by the Nashville Predators last May after losing in the first round of the playoffs the last 3 years. Sounds like a familiar track record to me.
Btw, Karl & Lee, I hit the wrong icon, not reporting gov78's post.
