The Minnesota Wild's 2025 NHL Draft class showcases Judd Brackett's knack for finding hidden gems. Theodor Hallquisth, a defensive defenseman with offensive upside, leads the pack as the 52nd overall pick. Adam Benak, a speedy forward reminiscent of Logan Stankoven, could be a steal in the fourth round.
Locked On Wild host Seth Toupal breaks down each pick, including Lirim Amidovski, Carter Klippenstein, and Justin Kipkie. The Wild also addressed depth needs, signing goaltender Cal Petersen and forwards Nicolas Aube-Kubel and Tyler Pitlick. These moves provide insurance against injuries and bolster the AHL roster.
Toupal explores how these draft picks and signings fit into the Wild's prospect pool and overall roster strategy. He also teases upcoming content, including player evaluations and a look back at the Zach Parise-Ryan Suter signings.
