In a shocking turn of events, Minnesota Wild general manager Bill Guerin has reportedly been under investigation since late November for alleged workplace misconduct.
Guerin Under Investigation For Verbal Abuse In The Workplace
The Wild general manager has apparently been under investigation since late November after a Wild employee accused him of verbal abuse. The GM was not present at the board of governors meeting as a result of the investigation.
"While the investigation was proceeding, Guerin did not attend the NHL's Board of Governors meeting in Seattle nor the Wild's four-game road trip to western Canada and Seattle. That was odd considering it was new coach John Hynes' first long road trip with the Wild."- Michael Russo, The Athletic
However, the investigation has since been completed and the team's upper management has already determined that Guerin's actions did not constitute a fireable offense.
"Two team sources indicated that the investigation into Guerin's alleged behavior was complete and the findings were delivered to upper management and ownership early this week. Wild management determined that Guerin had not committed a fireable offense, team sources said Wednesday."
Wild Staying Quiet About Guerin Investigation
The Wild have so far been very quite about this incident. The team significantly limited who was available for media questions this morning after an unusual morning skate with notable absences, including Guerin.
"By the time the media was allowed into the near-empty dressing room, only defenseman Alex Goligoski and recent call-up Dakota Mermis were made available, with members of the team's PR staff close to their side." The league office, including Gary Bettman himself, has already been briefed on the investigation as well and they are reportedly satisfied with the results. All of this means that Guerin is very likely to keep his job as general manager of the wild, but it is very possible that we will never know the full details as to what lead to this investigation in the first place.
