BREAKING: Wild Add 900-Game Veteran

Some major news came out of Minnesota!

Michael Russo, a reporter, announced that the Wild are going to hire Derek Stepan to work in their organization.

That means that his playing days could officially be over!

Stepan played 890 games in the NHL for the Rangers, the Coyotes, the Senators and the Hurricanes. He was drafted in 2008 at the 51st overall pick and scored 515 points in his career.

We don't know yet what kind of role he'll have, but retired players often start as advisors, consultants or scouts.
