Top 25 Under 25 #10: Tyler Graovac

It's pretty well established by this point that the Wild's draft strategy is to use later round picks to their advantage. There is some intelligence to this, as most research has shown that a pick in the 8th round is about equal to a pick in the 3rd round in terms of likelihood of becoming an NHL regular. One such pickup was 7th-rounder (191st overall) pick Tyler Graovac.

Graovac is a 6'5" 200-pound energetic center. He was the Iowa Wild's leading point-getter last season, and earned himself a callup to the big league where he represented himself well, though he couldn't stick.
