While it doesn’t appear many people are expecting the Minnesota Wild to pick up a strong defenseman in the first round of the draft this year, I still think it should be their first priority. It’s almost certain that Dumba either gets plucked by the Seattle Kraken or gets moved in a trade for other assets.
