Why Everyone is Right Regarding Bill Guerin's Season Ending Press Conference

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we discuss the Marcus Johansson extension. We look at how it lines up with the Parise/Suter purgatory, and why he is a good fit for this team over the next 2 years. We look at the difference in impact between his first and second stints in Minnesota, and the chemistry he built with Matt Boldy and Joel Eriksson Ek. We move to Bill Guerin's season ending press conference, and the fireworks that started right off the bat. We break down Guerin's comments from his own perspective, with notes on the cap limitations this team is facing while still being a playoff caliber team, and why they will hopefully be able to break through the first round ceiling with those funds in 2 years. We discuss why Guerin is right that a "first round playoff win" isn't an accomplishment considering what follows, but then we flip and look at things from the fans perspective. With how similar the last two seasons ended, where is the accountability? All in all everyone is right in some aspects, but Guerin will have to hold someone accountable once the salary cap is no longer an issue.
