Billy Guerin officially named General Manager of Team USA
Episode description
Minnesota Wild General Manager Billy Guerin joins Russo on Straight From the Source on the day he is officially announced as the General Manager of Team USA for the 2020 Winter Olympics in Beijing. Guerin talks about how good the American roster projects to be, its gold-medal chances, how the players will need to protect themselves from COVID-19 and the concerns about whether the NHL will even go.
Plus Billy talks about the West-leading Wild, their playoff chances, Kevin Fiala, Jordan Greenway, Ryan Hartman and how he thinks Jonas Brodin is the NHL's best defensive defenseman. Billy also provides an update on Wild prospects Marco Rossi and Matt Boldy and as always the affable Wild Manager shares some old hockey stories and answers tons of Twitter questions from Minnesota Wild fans.
Guerin also takes us inside on a day like today, when the Wild's game vs the Carolina Hurricanes was postponed because of a COVID-19 outbreak within the Canes team.
