Minnesota Wild General Manager and Team USA executive Bill Guerin joins John Shannon and Daren Millard on 100% Hockey to kick off the 2025–26 NHL season. Guerin walks us through the Wild’s early outlook and gives rare insight into the process behind Kirill Kaprizov’s record-setting contract extension — from negotiation hurdles to what it means for the franchise’s long-term direction.

The conversation then shifts to the international stage, as Guerin shares an inside look at his work building Team USA’s roster for the 2026 Olympic Games. He talks about the balance between experience and youth, the importance of leadership on the international stage, and what fans can expect from the American side when they hit the ice in Milan.
