The 2017 NHL draft weekend got off to a particularly boring start for the Minnesota Wild. As some of you may remember, the Wild's first round pick was was traded to Arizona as part of the deal that brought Martin Hanzal and Ryan White to Minnesota at the trade deadline last year. The Wild’s 2nd round pick was dealt to Buffalo back in 2015 for Chris Stewart. But, finally, after 84 picks had gone by, Chuck Fletcher and the rest of the Wild’s brass were up, and with their first selection of the 2017 draft the Wild selected: Ivan Lodnia.
