By Velgey -
The Minnesota Wild have announced their Traverse City Prospect Tournament roster and I’m hopeful that the team of lil’ Wildlings can perform better than we’ve seen from the youth squad in recent years. Leading the pack is Joel-Eriksson Ek of course, but Luke Kunin will likely also be a leader on the stat sheet for the team. The defensemen and goalies groups are perhaps a bit thinner than the forwards, but all in all it is a squad that ought to be competitive. Here’s hoping that’s the truth and not just me lying to myself.
