Minnesota Wild's Management Under Scrutiny Following Investigations

Bill Guerin cleared of fireable offense after verbal abuse complaint, as assistant GM Chris O’Hearn departs.

Minnesota Wild's president of hockey operations and general manager, Bill Guerin, was the focus of an investigation following a complaint of verbal abuse by an employee.
The investigation was conducted by an outside law firm and concluded with the Wild management determining that Guerin had not committed a fireable offense.
Assistant general manager Chris O’Hearn left the organization by mutual agreement with the Wild, leaving a significant gap in the front office.
The NHL deputy commissioner, Bill Daly, stated that the league was satisfied with how the Wild handled the situation.
The Minnesota Wild have had a challenging start to the season, with a record of 11-12-4 and the firing of coach Dean Evason in November.
