Said it before, but Guerin's a decent assessor of talent and would be a good Director of Player Personnel or something like that.
Why teams feel the need to hire men with no management experience to be "general managers" is a puzzle.
I know he has a team around him, but without a competent "manager" that doesn't really matter.
Ironically, Chuck Fletcher did seem to be a decent "general manager" but he was a subpar guy when it came to talent assessment.
Paul Fenton was also good on talent assessment, but poor on management skills.
The problem, I suppose, is all these ex-jocks have too much charisma, too firm of handshakes, for a guy like Leipold to turn down.
In five years, Ryan Suter will be the GM and the Wild will still have nothing to show for their existence.
