The Montreal Canadiens acquired the Minnesota Wild's second-round pick when they sent Josh Gorges to the Buffalo Sabres on July 1, 2014. The series loss by the Wild today at the hands of the Dallas Stars means that Minnesota will draft 15th in each round, locking that transacted pick into the 45th-overall slot.
