    Guest

    Hockey Wilderness has decided to rank their 30 favorite prospects in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft and will analyze each and every one of them. So on draft day, you'll have a good sense of who's who.

    With each post, you will get to understand what type of player he is, and how he can help the Wild. You'll understand his strengths, flaws and get to understand what type of player he'll develop into.

    History And Accomplishments:

    HW's Take:

    Rattie is one of the better playmakers in this years draft. An offensive dynamo that has the ability to be very elusive and shifty.

    Just what the doctor ordered.

    In addition, it wasn't very good news that he was cut from Canada's U-18 Team

    Rattie has the vision, the elusive skating and all the offensive tools to become a danger in the future, and in a draft this deep, it wouldn't be a surprise to see a team take him earlier on based on his offensive upside.

    Where Does He Fit With The Wild?

    One of the Wild's biggest weaknesses is on the right wing. There is a lack of offensive talent on the right side and Rattie could just be the prospect to help fix that.

    Good Choice At #10?

    However, as talented as he is, I do not like the boom/bust risk factor with Rattie. At #10, I feel there are better options than him.

    How Does He Look As A Wild?
