Actually I mentioned my major issues with Bill Guerin that significantly predate his handling of Fiala.
Rumor: Canucks going after Rossi?

Why doesn’t Minnesota keep him if he was that good.
I think most of us would keep him and really don't have a problem with something close to 7 by 7 but it's not our call.
Rossi still has plenty of up side. Personally I think we need to win a round or two before worrying about short guys not pulling their weight in the playoffs.
I’m considered to be the biggest Rossi critic amongst Wild fans and even I would at some point just do the 7x7 if the best offer is a mid 1st in a bad draft + stuff.
You have an issue with him saying he was going to get rid of the country club and players were going to play based on merit and the goal was to get faster and younger?
Our drafting department is all hype with minimal results ever since Judd Brackett came to town.
I’m not sure what you are referencing, but the idea that vets get away with whatever they want and the young players are scared to make mistakes or never play up in the lineup is something I disagree with. Maybe Bogosian v Buium represents that, but it’s also an insane ask for Buium to make his NHL debut in the playoffs. Boldy and Faber are prime examples of young players with a longer leash to make mistakes.
I have an issue with him actively having done the exact opposite of that at every single time a decision was made. Yes
Did we get younger???? Did we get faster???? Is playing time based on merit???? Is there a f***ing country club????
These are simple questions and we all know the answers.
I know we had issues AFTER the Fiala trade. You said you outlined stuff BEFORE the Fiala trade.
Guerin made these statements about the direction of the team well before the Fiala trade and every move he’s made for the entirety of his tenure has basically been the opposite. Up to and including the Fiala trade and continuing beyond it.
What did he do prior to the Fiala situation? I don’t understand why the question is so difficult to answer.
Btw, the Fiala trade did make the team younger. “Including the Fiala trade.”

Didn’t Minny get Fabre in the Fiala deal? Fabre is fabulous. One of the best D in the league. Getting him makes a club better.
He’s average speed wise , decent edges and ok first step. Nothing to write home about. He was also pretty mediocre at hockey for the majority of this last season especially after his concussion. I’d have preferred to have Fiala on the team. Yurov obviously could tip the scales back in our favor but I don’t see us winning shit with the same lame offensive production year after year. Zero secondary scoring.Well, sorry Faber f***ing sucks at skating I guess

You absolutely can, its called precedent, perhaps look up the word?
Also you guys don't want to re-sign him because he wants too much money, yah, that's completely different than cap issues........

Sure seems like this is already a done deal. Just waiting for the Calder and Stanley Cups to be awarded before announcing.
Looks like a grade both fan groups will hate, so likely fair.
