By Mike Laue -
On top of his superb play in his own zone Eriksson Ek also can light up the lamp. He scored 4 goals and 2 assists in 34 games playing the Sweden's men league. Mark on the calendar Wild fans--in 3 to 4 years this guy is going to be a force to reckon with in our bottom 6.
Thank god we didn't screw up this draft by taking one of Nick Merkley or Travis Konecny or Anthony Beauvillier (the guy I actually really really wanted the Wild to pick) because they put up too many points in the Canadian Junior Leagues. We just don't need that type of scoring talent on this team right now.
