The Wild head coach will have a chance to prove himself.

The Minnesota Wild are at the bottom of the table of the NHL standings, but a managerial change doesn’t appear to be the thing that the owners would do to change that.

Despite Minnesota being in the 28th and having lost 5 consecutive matches, sources think that boss Dean Evason, who was hired interim head coach of the franchise on Valentine’s Day, 2020, after the dismissal of Bruce Boudreau, is at risk of being fired.

“The feeling is he’s not in imminent danger,” claimed Johnston on the show Insider Trading. “And I think the main reason for that is because management looks at the players and says, it’s not a trade away from things to go in the right direction, it’s not a managerial change away from being fixed. Now is the time for the best players in this organization to lead the team through the terrible beginning of the campaign.
