It is still pretty damn hard to figure out where a player that we’ve barely seen play and just joined the Minnesota Wild organization, stands in terms of ranking the top young talent. Even with all the highlights, stats, and general reports from people that pay attention to the Ottawa Senators, how goaltender Filip Gustavsson stacks up against some other players in the Wild’s pool of players under the age of 25 is a mystery.
Age: 24
Position: G
Catches: Left
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 183 lbs
Acquired: Trade
2021-22 Team: Belleville Senators (AHL) / Ottawa Senators (NHL)
In the grand scheme of things, it is still a fairly vague mystery for a large portion of these players — all dependent on how they develop and progress before they start playing professional hockey full-time — but with Gustavsson we at least have a handful of top-level games to take from.
