Guerin focused on ‘unfinished business’ in Minnesota
Bill Guerin says Minnesota’s recent success still leaves the Wild with unfinished business and a Stanley Cup goal, with training camp opening this week.
Minnesota Wild training camp begins this week with General Manager Bill Guerin focused on capturing the Stanley Cup after a successful 2025-26 season.
Following a successful 2025-26 season that included the team's first playoff series win in a decade, Guerin orchestrated significant roster changes, notably acquiring defenseman Quinn Hughes from Vancouver.
Hughes can become a free agent on July 1, 2027, if not extended; Guerin addressed contract questions repeatedly during a late August media tour, saying "We're working on it."
Guerin dismissed past accomplishments, stating "Nobody cares what happened last year," emphasizing the only trophy that matters is the Stanley Cup.
The Wild are considered among a half-dozen realistic contenders for the championship, with the season opener looming on Oct. 1 in Nashville.
