The Wild PR office has just put out a statement from Wild Coach Jacques Lemaire that would seem to confirm he'll be back next year:

"When you are younger, it's a lot easier to make a decision. At the end of the year, I said I wanted to ask questions of Doug. I wanted to make sure my boss is happy with the work I am doing and with the way I manage the team. This is what we talked about in our meetings. I am reassured of my work and I want to coach again.

My satisfaction behind the bench is getting the team to play the best it can, individually and as a group. Success will come with that."

There's a phoner scheduled at 12:15 p.m. which should provide a lot more insight into the Coach Lemaire's thinking.

UPDATE 1: Here's quotes from the press conference:

"Maybe I'm different than the majority of coaches," Lemaire said. "I feel secure, and feeling secure makes me do the right things. ... When I came to Minnesota, I said I want to work with a GM that I know, that he knows me, he knows how I work, because I want to work together."
