Todd Richards is the latest piece of the Minnesota Wild’s offseason makeover.

Richards was hired Monday as the team’s head coach, according to a person with knowledge of the decision who spoke on condition of anonymity because an official announcement had not been made.

The Wild will hold a news conference Tuesday to introduce the second coach in the team’s nine-year history, and Richards will bring a clearly different approach than his predecessor.Original post by WP-AutoBlog Import
