One of the policies that the Wild implemented was never naming a permanent captain. Instead, the team captaincy was rotated on a monthly basis among several of its players each season, with some players serving multiple times. Off-season Jacques Lemaire was named the team’s first head coach on June 19.Expansion Wild tabs Lemaire - UPI Archives https://www.upi.com/Archives/2000/06/19/Expansion-Wild-tabs-Lemaire/6061961387200/ UPI May 18, 2023 June 19, 2000 Regular season The Wild struggled offensively, finishing 30th overall in scoring (168 goals for), power-play goals scored (36) and power-play percentage (9.63%).
