The tem needs to learn two things to be a playoff caliber team. #1, if you can't figure out a way to bring the puck into the opponents zone without dumping and chasing, just quit. You lose possession 100% of the time and have to exert extra energy to regain possession. Stupid. #2 protect your blue line, Noone passes through the blue line without getting hit off the puck. If you let them breach your blue line, just quit. This is youth hockey 101.
Some love Guerin, but he has done nothing to get this team to be anything more than a maybe playoff team. Last years 1st round pick Stramel appears to have regressed and could be a huge bust. If they redid last years draft, I doubt Stramel would even be a 2nd round pick. The prospect pool has taken a hit and are no longer ranked near the top of the league. Going to be more lean years for the Wild, as well as poor Iowa. Guerin may be on the hot seat sooner than later. And if they do trade Rossi, you have to ask yourself why they drafted him in the 1st round in the first place. They better get at least equivalent value, meaning no worst than a 9th pick in the 1st round. Man, I hate it when teams I follow have 1st round bust picks. Seems Cine for the Vikings is just adding to the list of Minnesota fan misery.
His big play was the buyouts...Which I never agreed with 2 the same year...and still think they could have worked that out with 2 local boys... but hey....thats what you get from a eastcoast guy running a team from Sota...Call me old school...but nobody from Eastcoast or Michigan would be my choice to run our club...Billy has painted himself into a corner....He's gone shortly....
Gotta disagree on your CS take. If you can get down to Tria in July and watch him up close. After that ask yourself if what you’re seeing might look nice on an NHL playoff team in the future.
Great questions and interview.

Billy G the NHLs version of a SNAKEOIL salesman...The Wild are NOT close to any cup run and buffoon Billy keeps signing players to NO MOVE contracts
