Sometimes a team just feels right for a player and sometimes it is just based off of recent draft selections. Just last year, the Minnesota Wild — led by director of amateur scouting Judd Brackett for the first time — drafted a couple forwards that profiled as strong two-way competitors that can chip in a dynamic way. Marco Rossi and Marat Khusnutdinov are two players that are now rising in prospect rankings and seen as steals for where they were selected. This year, Fyodor Svechkov is kind of the same player.
Svechkov certainly doesn’t hold the same reputation as Rossi did at this point last year, but he has some insane natural abilities to see plays form and read offenses clear as day, to then disrupt them.
