Nino Niederreiter, Mikael Granlund, and Wild prospect Kirill Kaprizov were the only three to represent Minnesota at the IIHF World Championships, and all fell short of the illustrious gold. While one came away with a little less disappointment and a little more bling than the other two, the World Championships were a success individually for each Wild player.
Now they will all be able to head to the off-season and get to work with the Wild organization. That is unless Mikael Granlund is at all mad about team Finland’s loss to Nino Niederreiter and team Switzerland.
