Prospects aren’t always drafted and the Wild may need to find those diamonds in the rough

A: They are all undrafted players who played a vital role for their team in 2018.

In fact that short list has over 6200 games and 3600 points between them. Even our own beloved Nate Prosser was an undrafted player.

With a depleted prospect pool and diminished draft picks, the Wild will have to do more than pick right on a couple of players they draft. They will have to go searching for diamonds in the rough. Many of the missed players above were either considered too small or were late bloomers.
