It's too late to hire a new head coach. It's highly unlikely any of the top coaching candidates will want to come in cold with 20 games left in the season and try to implement his system while holding on to a tenuous playoff position or one of them would have likely been announced as the new head coach of the Wild. I think most of us realize Ward isn't an NHL caliber head coach (fluff pieces like this article won't change that) but these are the cards the GM has left in his deck.
