wild.source Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 The Minnesota Wild have had their share of good and bad over the last 20 seasons. The team went the furthest into the playoffs in the 2002-03 season when they went as far as the Western Conference Finals and got ultimately defeated by the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. They drafted the longest tenured captain in franchise history, also the longest tenured player in franchise history with Mikko Koivu in 2001. Ok lets look at the first decade of the team's existence. They went to the playoffs 3 times with 1 ending up in the Conference Finals. The Wild went through 2 coaches (Jacques Lemaire and Todd Richards). The Wild drafted Marian Gaborik was drafted 3rd Overall in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft, also the Wild drafted Koivu 6th Overall in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft. Leipold also hired Chuck Fletcher as General Manager in 2009.

Yeah, that was a good start. If anything, you could've gone into my details and add little bit of more of your own interpretation. Next time, bud!
