When you think Minnesota Wild prospects, chances are the name Nick Seeler isn’t very high up on your list for potential studs in the organization. The 24 year old left-shot defensemen has been in the organization since he was selected in the 5th round (131st overall) of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, but has not cracked our T25U25 list in the past 3 seasons. Seeler’s addition to the list this year is more a product of subtraction than addition.
With prospects aging out of contention, and others finding new homes over the summer, Seeler has been thrust into the rankings because of the subtraction of players from the list itself over the addition of his skills through development.
