The Wild currently hold the 24th selection in this year’s draft.

The Minnesota Wild will hold the 24th pick in the first round of this year’s NHL draft. It is important in the back end of the first round to still find top-tier talent and I don’t think that there will be any shortage of that.

In previous years, the Wild have done very well drafting. Here’s a look at their first-round selections from 2019 to 2021.

2019: 12th overall: Matt Boldy

2020: 9th overall: Marco Rossi

2021: 20th overall: Jesper Wallstedt & 26th overall: Carson Lambos.

These four picks in the past three drafts are extremely important for years to come as seen with how Boldy broke into the NHL this season and even Rossi, who is knocking on the door for next year. It seems draft success is beginning to show for Minnesota.

Here we will talk about three intriguing prospects who could be available for the Wild to select at 24th overall and what they could bring to Minnesota in the years to come.
