Howdy partner. There’s a new sheriff in town calling the shots for the Wild. His name, Paul Fenton. The month-long search finally concluded yesterday afternoon as Fenton was officially introduced as new GM of the Wild.
Also, Seattle has inched one step closer to an NHL team, with the announcement that a Board of Governors meeting—which could result in the NHL awarding a franchise to the Emerald City—is set for June 20th.
And finally, Caps/Bolts. Game 7. Tonight.
