Minnesota Wild NHL 2024 Draft Recap

[@saltywingsandavsfan]

Buium and Faber is going to be VERY lethal for other teams.

Kiviharju is a left shot. Loved the Wilds class overall. Nice breakdown.

Opinion on Judd Brackett? Canucks fans seems to rate him at almost mythical tier scouting. I'd be interested in an impartial view.

Honest question here from someone unaware: How is Buium so much better then Yakemchuck ?

[@Scouching]

Hey there, it really comes down to how they project as offensive defensemen. Buium has some defensive weaknesses here and there but he's a very mobile player who anticipates breakouts better and has a better sense of positioning. Offensively there's way more in the sense of creativity, agility, skill level at higher speeds, and ability to generate threatening offensive chances. Yakemchuk has a great shot from the point and some good skill if he's not going full-tilt, but his issues defensively are a huge hurdle that aren't overcome by an offensive game that is as projectable in my opinion.
