Our 2025 NHL Mock Draft Has Just Been Published!
The Minnesota Wild farm system is ranked 5th by Puck Pipeline. Minnesota plummeted itself into cap-hell with the buyouts of Ryan Suter and Zach Parise. The team on the ice is merely mediocre, a team that can maybe contend for a wildcard position, clearly inferior to the top teams in their division, but distinctly better than the bottom-feeders in their conference. Behind the scenes, Minnesota has stock-piled a high volume of valuable young assets that are poised to break-through once Minnesota is ready to content again and spend to the cap. From Danila Yurov up-front, Zeev Buium on the back-end, and Jesper Wallstedt between-the-pipes, the foundations of the new-age core that will be tasked to support the existing core of Kirill Kaprizov, Matt Boldy, Brock Faber, and Marco Rossi, is in place.
