Dan and Shawn are joined by Minnesota Wild GM Bill Guerin (21:50). Bill talks about whether he's concerned about the Wild's recent 4-game losing streak, explains how he's looking at his team as the Trade Deadline approaches and marvels at the emergence of Matt Boldy. He talks about some of the teams that have impressed him this season, including the Calgary Flames and Colorado Avalanche and is convinced that the Wild can compete to win a Stanley Cup this season. He remembers what the Trade Deadline was like as a player and explains how his perception of the deadline has changed as a GM. The guys start the episode discussing the Blackhawks hiring Kyle Davidson as their GM and the decisions that Davidson will have to make with Marc-Andre Fleury, Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews. They also dissect the Washington Capitals and ponder whether they should be buyers at the Trade Deadline. They wrap up the episode debating whether the Toronto Maple Leafs have a major issue at the goalie position and who the best U.S. born player is that's under 23 years old; some interesting picks by Dan and Shawn.
