The Minnesota Wild have made huge moves when it comes to their coaching staff, but their final one is definitely more subtle.

According to an official announcement from the Wild, they have hired former National Hockey League head coach John Anderson as their second assistant, alongside Scott Stevens, under head coach Bruce Boudreau.

From the Wild's official website:

Anderson joins the Wild after serving as Head Coach of the Chicago Wolves in the American Hockey League (AHL) the last three seasons. Prior to being named Head Coach of the Wolves on July 16, 2013, he served as an assistant coach with the Phoenix Coyotes for two seasons (2011-13) and was the Head Coach of the Atlanta Thrashers for two seasons (2008-10). The Toronto, Ont., native went 624-368-124 (.614) in 14 seasons as the Wolves Head Coach (1997-2008, 2013-16), leading Chicago to four championships; the 2008 and 2002 Calder Cup and the 2000 and 1998 Turner Cup. Prior to joining the Wolves, Anderson captured the Colonial Cup as Head Coach of the Quad City Mallards of the Colonial Hockey League in 1996-97. He began his coaching career with Winston-Salem in 1995-96, leading the Mammoths to the Southern Hockey League Finals.

Much like Stevens, Anderson brings a wealth of experience from his playing days to the table as well as his vast coaching experience. Anderson played 814 games in the NHL as a member of the Leafs, Nordiques and Whalers.
