11 year-old Minnesotan Jordyn Leopold wrote a letter to the Minnesota Wild, telling the team she missed her dad -- asking them to acquire the Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman. Yesterday the Wild brought Leopold home to Minnesota.

Her letter said:

Dear Minnesota Wild Coaches -- My name is Jordyn Leopold, my dad is Jordan Leopold one of the Columbus Blue Jackets defensemen. Well my dad is very lonely without his family. We are living in Minnesota right now and I am lost without my dad and so is my mom, my 2 sisters, and my brother. My dad is on a team with young guys and is very lonely and is not playing because the jackets got him because the needed a D-man. It has been since November we can not take it any more. Well to get to the point the Wild have not been winning games and you lovely coaches are most likely mad about that but your team needs some more D men so can you please, please, please ask the Jackets if you guys can get him? Thanks! Love, Jordyn Leopold. :)

Leopold, who played college hockey for the Gophers, was picked up by Minnesota in a deal that has the Wild sending Justin Falk and 5th round draft pick to Columbus.
