The Wild GM was apparently accused of verbal abuse in a work environment. While few details about the investigation have been revealed, the name of the team employee who made the accusations against Guerin has been made public.
It seems odd that this information would be made public as it is bound to create tensions within the Wild organization as well as outside pressure from fans, who are bound to ask questions.
No other significant details about the incident have been revealed other than the fact that the investigation was looking into allegations of verbal abuse.
The team has confirmed that the investigation is over and that it was deemed that Guerin had not committed a fireable offense. This does imply that something untoward did happen, but that it was not a significant enough issue to warrant Guerin losing his job. Apparently, the NHL front office agrees with this assessment as they have been briefed on the investigation.
The full story can be seen on the Athletic.
