Dmitri Sokolov is one the of the Wild’s most intriguing prospects, and for good reason. Most fans who recognize his name know that he started off last season projected as a first round pick, some even placed him as a top 10 pick, as reported by Michael Russo. Conditioning concerns caused his stock to fall all the way to the seventh round. It was reported that he was clearly not in shape in an interview, and Fletcher noted he had a bad shoulder all year. Despite his poor conditioning and bad shoulder, Sokolov still managed to lead all rookies in the OHL with 30 goals and finished fourth in total points among rookies with 52 points.
