The Wild transformation from the old guard is now complete as today Matt Dumba and Marxus Foligno were names alternate captains, replacing Ryan Suter and Zach Parise following their contract buyouts earlier this Summer.

Foligno was an obvious choice as some felt he may even have been named captain last Summer when long time captain Mikko Koivu was not resigned. That honor went to Jared Spurgeon, which was well deserved and the right decision for sure.

Matt Dumba is a more vocal leader and has always been active both within the room and in the community. Dumba like Foligno will hold the room together and accountable to coach Dean Evason's system.

Tonight we get our first look at the Wild with their first pre-season tilt in St. Louis vs. the Blues
