Bill Guerin
William Robert Guerin (born November 9, 1970) is an American former professional ice hockey player, and the current general manager of the Minnesota Wild. He previously was the assistant general manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins and general manager of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
Guerin played 18 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL), winning two Stanley Cup championships with the New Jersey Devils and Pittsburgh Penguins.
Internationally, Guerin represented the United States at the Olympics in 1998, 2002 and 2006, and participated in two World Cup of Hockey tournaments. He was named general manager of Team USA for the 2025 Four Nations Face-Off and 2026 Winter Olympics. Guerin was the first player of Hispanic descent to play in the NHL.
Guerin was drafted in the 1989 NHL entry draft fifth overall by the New Jersey Devils and played with the team from 1991 to 1998, winning the Stanley Cup in 1995. Midway through the 1997–98 season, Guerin was traded (with Valeri Zelepukin) to the Edmonton Oilers for Jason Arnott and Bryan Muir.
In November 2001, Guerin was traded to his hometown team, the Boston Bruins.
After a 41-goal season in 2001–02, Guerin signed a five-year contract with the Dallas Stars. He performed below expectations with the Stars. Dallas bought out the remainder of his contract after a disappointing season in 2005–06 in which he recorded just 40 points. The Stars had to pay two-thirds of the remaining salary on his contract spread over twice as many years; this meant $6.7 million over one year became $4.4 million over two years.
On July 3, 2006, Guerin signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the St. Louis Blues. Playing on a line with former Oiler teammate Doug Weight, Guerin revived his career, easily eclipsing his disappointing goal-scoring mark from the 2005–06 season. He was named to the 2007 All-Star Game (hosted by the Stars) to represent the Blues. Despite numerous criticisms of his play during his time as a Star, Guerin received a standing ovation from the Dallas fans in recognition of his status as a longtime fan favorite.
On February 2, 2007, Guerin became the 214th NHL player to play in 1,000 games. Later that month, he was traded to the San Jose Sharks for Ville Nieminen, prospect Jay Barriball, and a conditional first-round pick (either New Jersey's in 2007 or San Jose's in 2008). During the subsequent offseason, Guerin signed a two-year contract with the New York Islanders. On July 9, 2007, he was named captain of the Islanders, making him the 11th captain in team history.
