There were a few Wild prospects that made their NHL debut this past season. Odd for a team that went the regular season with nary a scuffle with the injury bug outside of Zach Parise. Zack Mitchell got his call to the show for the November 10th match-up against the eventual Stanley Cup champ Pittsburgh Penguins. The undrafted free agent turned AHL vet, especially on a team with so much influx of younger and newer talent, he has made himself quite a mainstay in the Wild farm system.
Before last season, when the Iowa Wild experienced a large roster turnover, Mitchel was among the team leaders in points and was one of the few catalysts on offense for the squad in Des Moines.
