Here’s the memo from the team:
Minnesota Wild Owner, Craig Leipold, announced today that the organization will not renew the contract of President and General Manager, Doug Risebrough, beyond the 2008-2009 season.
“The entire Minnesota Wild organization is forever indebted to Doug for his substantial efforts in establishing this franchise’s solid foundation and winning tradition,” said Leipold. “The positive impact of Doug’s service will be felt for many years to come. We wish Doug the very best.”
The search for a new General Manager will begin immediately. The first order of business for the incoming General Manager will be to select the Team’s next Head Coach.
Until a replacement is found, Assistant General Manager Tom Lynn, will be acting-General Manager.

Not only has he lost his mind, he lost his job, too. Is it bad that this makes my day?
Kirsten: This news makes a LOT of peoples' days! My cell phone started ringing off the hook at work about 12:15, right after the Leipold release was broadcast by the TC media.
Let's hope that today's optimism carries Wild fans thru the summer. We need hope to carry us thru the doldrums of spring without the Wild in the SCP.
Ding don the witch is dead!
