Top 25 under 25: Daemon Hunt pops up at 14

The trend of the Minnesota Wild’s late picks showing plenty of promise continues.

Daemon Hunt is coming off of a strange season — stop me if you’ve heard that before — where he played in the WHL, the Manitoba Junior Hockey League and the AHL. He was productive across all three leagues, even potting his first professional goal in his six-game stint with Iowa Wild. While it was his lone point in that small showing, the smooth-skating defenseman shows that he can be productive and reliable.

Age: 19

A skate injury harmed hunt’s draft stock in his draft year.
