Description

Hartman had a good year but I think he regresses next season and we should have tried to upgrade down the middle. Would have loved Dach but I don't think we could have beat 13 and 66 OA for him. I still would love Miller but I don't see us giving up our 1st next year which I think is what it would take (in addition to other pieces) now that the first round this year is over.

I expect this team to be a Wild card team, but probably not one that makes it past the 1st-2nd round. If we really struggle, we should sell Dumba, Talbot, and Gaudreau at the deadline.

How do you like the Wild’s picks so far? A center would have been nice, but I have been arguing for awhile now that the Wild’s pool of wingers is poor and I love both these picks!

I’d like to see a C and a RHD taken in the 2nd.

Agreed. I love the picks. I expected a C with one of them but happy we went high upside at 24. Hoping for a C today.

Definitely agree on preferring a center, I was really hoping Nazar would fall. I like Ostlund a bit too, but he went before our pick as well. Completely agree on wanting a center and RHD in the 2nd round.

I didn't know much about Ohgren before the draft, but reading about him it seems like a decent pick. Scott Wheeler is really high on him, had him ranked 14th in his rankings. Pronman isn't quite as high on him and ranked him at 28th. Seems like he's a goal scorer which we definitely need and plays with good pace and compete. I'm getting flashbacks to 2019 when we took Boldy for Ohgren since I didn't know a ton about Boldy then and they seem like sort of similar prospects.

That said, I LOVE the Yurov pick. Was really hoping we'd grab one of the Russians. I preferred Miroshnichenko, but Yurov looks like a really talented player and I think he could be one of the best prospects to come out of this class when we look back in 5-10 years. It will probably take several years to get him over here, but having Kaprizov on our roster doesn't hurt that.

Yurov could end up as the steal of the draft!

Does anyone feel like Minnesota's wild history makes our GM's and scouts prone not to care about drafting C's. Don't understand why they selected an LW in the 1st round
