from Michael Russo of The Athletic,

All season, but especially the second half and into the offseason, there was often some sort of fire, ranging from small to inferno, that had to be put out by Leipold or his trusted lieutenants.

Fenton, 59, loved to say that he valued turning the Wild into one big family atmosphere, but the way he and some close to him treated people created low morale throughout the organization.

That irked Leipold, who also values a family atmosphere and wants a happy, healthy staff that enjoys coming to work every day. That’s what the owner meant when he said Tuesday that Fenton didn’t fit into the Wild’s culture.
