On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we discuss the hiring of Brett McLean as Iowa Wild head coach! We look at his comments from his introductory press conference and how McLean can use his own personal experience to help Iowa players with a variety of backgrounds all reach their goal of getting to the NHL. We also look at Bill Guerin's comments on the timeline of offering McLean the job, and some of the differences he brings compared to his predecessor. We also discuss how the Wild will fill his vacancy on the staff, and what needs to take precedent for the new assistant. We discuss John Hynes as a potential fit, as well as Doug Weight. We finish by discussing Andrew Bruenette being hired as Nashville Predators head coach and why he wasn't more considered for any positions here.
