Find a trading partner wanting #12 and grab Brink with a later pick. Brink trailed only Hughes and Turcotte in USHL U18 points per game. He was ahead of Zegras, Boldy and Caufield. He didn't have the benefit of playing on that powerhouse US USHL team either. Brink had to lead his team in scoring.
It will be interesting to see what he does with the pick in June. Defense is a big need for the Wild, but there are going to be some excellent forwards still available at 12. One of Krebs, Caufield, Dach or Zegras should still be available. If he drafts goalie Spencer Knight he should be fired immediately.
Same. There's not much to discuss this off season. Same team, same leadership. Yes I know Fenton is new but he seems like a Fletcher clone. No exciting draft picks either. Look at what the Blues did this summer. Now that's something worth talking about.
