Risebrough fired.
And deservedly so, I think.
Riser wasn't terrible as the Wild's GM, but he was totally unable to make them anything more than a mediocre club. I think Lemaire's coaching hid a lot of roster weaknesses as well.
He mishandled the Gaborik situation this year, exacerbated by the (completely predictable) injury problems the sniper suffered through. From where I sit, Risebrough acted like a GM perpetually gun-shy: he was typically inactive or minimally active when it came to free agents or the trade deadline. Perhaps the notorious Gilmour/Leeman deal made him risk averse...
