Bill Guerin, the general manager of the Minnesota Wild, has been named the GM for the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off and the United States’ 2026 Olympic teams.

"Examining the Turbulent Situation Surrounding Wild Coach Dean Evason"

The Minnesota Wild's poor performance this season has put head coach Dean Evason's job in jeopardy. With a cap-strapped roster and a lack of production from key players, the team's struggles have reached a boiling point. While Evason was relatively safe a few days ago, the recent string of losses has increased the pressure on him. General Manager Bill Guerin has publicly supported Evason, but if the team continues to underperform, a coaching change may be inevitable. Potential candidates to replace Evason include former coaches John Hynes and Gerard Gallant. The Wild's focus may shift to making a playoff run, but the option of acquiring top draft picks is also being considered.

Minnesota Wild secure Frederick Gaudreau with 5-year deal.

The Minnesota Wild have signed center Frederick Gaudreau to a five-year, $10.5-million contract extension with a cap hit of $2.1 million through the 2027-28 season. Gaudreau was set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, but the Wild secured him long-term. The team has limited cap space this offseason, but Gaudreau's cheap contract won't ruin anything. He has scored a career-high 18 goals this season and has fit well within the team's mentality.
