Mike Yeo will serve as the Minnesota Wild's head coach. Minnesota, like the Dallas Stars, decided to pick a young up-and-coming coach over a number of more established choices. At the time of writing, it looks like Yeo will be the youngest coach in the NHL. He led AHL Houston to the Calder Cup finals in 2010-11. Before that, he won the Stanley Cup as an assistant coach with the Pittsburgh Penguins. "Mike possesses a great passion for coaching and is a strong communicator," said Wild GM Chuck Fletcher. "He has been a winner at every level throughout his extensive coaching career."
