Saw the letter his daughter sent to the Wild asking the organization to trade for him.

Touching.

His daughter did a better job than most player agents.

So, how much did the letter play in MIN targeting her father?

Well the GM of CBJ tweeted this along with a pic of the letter. So I'd say the letter played a significant part in getting the trade done.

@jkekalainen It isn't always just about business

That's nice.

It’s 245miles between the Minnesota Wild and the Iowa Wild (AHL) where he’ll more than likely play I would think. So it’s closer than CBJ. A flight from the Minnesota to CB is 3hrs ish, and you can actually get a flight from Iowa Wild city to Minnesota and it’s an hr.

Curious how much this will actually effect his home life.

I think he'll be in Minnesota. His competition is Nate Prosser. He should be OK.
