Right, Peter, you're up with the Minnesota Wild at 13th overall
0:04
Yes, same thing with the Wild too. Their forward group is actually kind of okay, but you know, could use some work, but I'm
0:13
not going to pass up the opportunity and take a defenseman when he's already there
0:19
You're going to wait on Danilo Yurov to come over. You already have Liam O'Grin signed
0:24
Rassas Kumpelainen looked really strong, but now that Salahev is off the board, you'd
0:30
need another defender that could probably, you know, round out that top pairing with
0:34
Brock Faber, and I'm taking Zee William from the University of Denver
0:40
Stood out the road junior, stood out during the collegiate championship, helping Denver
0:45
win the title this season, and the offensive IQ that he has is just absolutely unreal
0:50
The pace of play that he could play with, the smooth skating through the neutral zone
0:55
pushing the defenders back as, you know, an attacking defender himself. Even overall, his defensive game is pretty strong as well, so I think they're going to
1:03
complement both Faber and William, kind of complement each other as, you know, Faber
1:09
is more the shutdown, two-way type of defender, but William with a little bit more of that
1:13
offensive instinct. It's hard to say Faber can't produce offense. He had, like, really good production
1:19
I think it was just under 50 points a season anyways. As a rookie, getting the minutes that he had, and I think William can really benefit that
1:27
and help him out as well, and they could feed off each other in terms of being a very, very
1:32
strong tandem for the future. Again, maybe they probably could have used a right shot defenseman, but you now have
1:38
a solid tandem with William in the fold right now
