Wild name 4-time Cup winner Guerin as GM

Bill Guerin was named the new general manager of the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday. The four-time Stanley Cup champion spent the last eight seasons in the Pittsburgh Penguins' front office. He will oversee the Wild's hockey operations department and all matters related to player personnel, coaching staff, scouting and minor league operations.

Terms of the multi-year deal were not disclosed. "Bill has been a winner throughout his hockey career and I am extremely pleased to be able to add his experience to our organization and The State of Hockey," team owner Craig Leipold said in a release.

Guerin, 48, was the Penguins' assistant general manager for the last five seasons after three seasons as their player development coach. He helped Pittsburgh win the Stanley Cup in 2016 and 2017. He also hoisted two Stanley Cups during an 18-season playing career (1991-2010) with eight NHL teams, winning championships with the 1994-95 New Jersey Devils and the 2008-09 Penguins.

The four-time All-Star accumulated 856 points (429 goals, 427 assists) and 1,660 penalty minutes in 1,263 career games. Guerin represented the United States at three Olympic Games and two World Cups of Hockey. He was inducted into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame in 2013.
