When the Minnesota Wild drafted goaltender Jesper Wallstedt with the 20th overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, people were cheering on the team for taking a player that felt like a sure thing. We’re not saying they were right in doing so, but it seems pretty damn likely at this point that Wallstedt will be in the NHL in the next couple years.
He has already won AHL Goaltender of the Month and is playing extremely well considering his age. Now that he’s getting more comfortable playing in North America — just months into his first season over here — he has cemented a strong future that some are already claiming that he is the best goalie prospect in the world.
That sounds pretty damn good!
That’s Wild
Off the trail...
