A little more from Globe sports editor Joe Sullivan on the Chris Snow decision to take a hockey job. "Yes, it was unexpected, but I did know that Chris was close to the management of the [Minnnesota] Wild" from his days covering the team. "Just knowing Chris, I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes the Theo Epstein of the NHL.''
Sullivan also says that baseball writer and former Sox beat man Gordon Edes will cover the team when Snow departs, which is expected to be about a month from now.
