The NHL appears to have another scandal on its hands, this time involving the Minnesota Wild and President of Hockey Ops/General Manager Bill Guerin.
According to a report from The Athletic's Michael Russo, beat writer for the Wild, Guerin is the subject of an investigation following a human resources complaint, alleging verbal abuse from the veteran executive towards an employee within the Wild organization.
"The alleged incident that led to the investigation occurred in late November and was reported to the team's HR department, which commissioned an outside law firm to investigate. Two attorneys traveled to St. Paul and interviewed more than 15 members of the organization.
Two team sources indicated that the investigation into Guerin's alleged behavior was complete and the findings were delivered to upper management and ownership early this week. Wild management determined that Guerin had not committed a fireable offense, team sources said Wednesday." - The Athletic's Michael Russo on the Guerin situation

Russo also revealed that the Wild refused to comment on the details of the investigation and, following an official statement, have refused to comment any further on the matter.
"The Minnesota Wild takes its code of conduct seriously. We recently concluded two separate investigations into alleged violations of that code of conduct, and have taken appropriate steps to address the matters raised to our attention. The club will not comment further." - Wild organization on Guerin investigation
At this point, the NHL appears to be satisfied with the investigation and while this isn't exactly great PR for the team or the league, the NHL doesn't appear to have any interest in intervening.
