Minnesota Wild 25 and Under Roster

Minnesota is a team that has not surprised many people. They are not a playoff team and they are poised to get a decent draft pick. There are players on the team that are having very good seasons like Kevin Fiala and Ryan Suter; but the rest have mostly fell flat. Hopefully their future looks a lot brighter and will be a playoff team once again.
