Guy Latendresses is a Canadian winger on the Minnesota Wild.
Latendresse was drafted by the Canadiens in 2005, after playing in the QMJHL. Latendresse made his NHL debut in 2006, and finished his rookie season with 16 goals and 29 points in 80 games. He had two more solid seasons, but struggled in 2009, and had just 3 points in his first 23 games when he was traded to Minnesota for Benoit Pouliot. The move obviously benefited Latendresse, as he scored a career high 25 goals and 37 points in just 55 games with the Wild, giving him his first 40 point season of his career.
Latendresse played for Team Canada at the 2005 World Juniors, but saw limited playing time due to disagreements with the head coach.
