It’s official. Bill Guerin is now the fourth general manager in Minnesota Wild history. Our own Logan Stark already wrote an excellent overview of Guerin’s career path (which you can read here), but as a basic summary, Guerin spent the last eight years in the Pittsburgh Penguins organization. Initially hired as their player development coach, he was eventually promoted to assistant general manager in 2014. Since then, the Penguins have won a pair of Stanley Cups and consistently qualified for the postseason.
Guerin was also a player back in the day.
