The last wave of youth additions for the Minnesota Wild included Mikael Granlund, Jason Zucker, Charlie Coyle, and Nino Niederreiter among others. The additions of those players has resulted in six consecutive playoff appearances, but they are all now reaching the end of their 20’s.
We have seen sporadic arrivals of players through the last few years, but nothing like the rookie influx that accompanied that group of players. Looking ahead we should expect another rookie wave in the coming years, but who will be a part of that wave?
