While in the midst of bumbling through running the draft, GM Shuck took the time to swing a couple of deals and make a few picks.
Wild select 4th overall - And take Cam Fowler. we knew it would be Fowler prior to the draft, and we are elated to add him. We've long had a man crush on Cam, and believe that he, Doughty and Hedman, provide us a ridiculous top 3 for the longterm. Fowler is expected to fit in right away with the above mentioned guys and Jason Demers, Theo Peckham, Laddy Smid, and Mike Commodore to give the Wild a formidable d-core next season.
Wild trade David Moss to Nashville for 83rd OV and 119ov - Moss didn't really fit anywhere on the squad, so he was moved out to clear some additional cap room, and acquire a few picks.
Wild select at 83ov - With the pick acquired for Moss, the team selected Joonas Donskoi. Donskoi put up 27 points in 52 games as an 18 year old in the SM Liga last season. He has 3 points in 11 games so far this year. Donskoi is 6 feet tall and 183lbs so he isn't slight, and has room to grow as well. He was the exact player the team was hoping to get when they made the Moss trade.
Wild trade 96ov to NYI for 129ov, 135ov, 159ov - NYI was looking for a pick in the early 4th and we were happy to oblige. Many of our picks will be off the 2010 board, so acquiring more bullets in the gun was exactly what we were hoping to do.
Tonight the Wild have a smattering of picks (16 so far), they are currently slated to select
119
131
135
142
143
145
157
159
160
162
170
172
174
188
192
195
197
200
So tonight will be busy for the Wild as well. Rumour is they would move some picks for selections next year, (going rate 1 round higher next season). And also would look at young NHLers. They still are not opposed to moving back for multiple picks as well.
Going to be a busy night for the Wild.
