The Minnesota Wild are in an interesting situation with one of the top prospects, Matt Boldy. After finishing his second season at Boston College, the powerful winger can take different paths to his eventual professional turn.
At 19, there is still plenty of time to make that choice, but with the team that drafted him 12th overall in 2019 gearing up for a significant postseason run, it convolutes the typical straightforward decision.
For the Wild, it’s an interesting case to think about the present or the long-term future of this team.
