Why the Wild should draft Anton Lundell

Look, I get it. As Minnesota Wild fans, we haven’t seen our team draft a bona fide offensive powerhouse since the very first pick they ever made. And after another year with an early playoff exit, with aging stars and fan favorites being traded out of town, we want general manager Bill Guerin to stand up, straighten his jacket, go up to the podium (or turn on his Zoom camera — or however the NHL plans on executing their socially-distanced draft) and read off a name that will score 80 goals in a season and inject electricity into a franchise in need of some excitement.
