Excellent. This is what's going to make this (or the next) upcoming season exciting. The Wild's draft picks are starting to mature and will be in Wild sweaters in the next few seasons. We'll soon start to see the payoff of smart drafting and enjoy many years of serious contention for the mug. A lot of Wild fans are very disappointed at the lack of big-time free agent signings in the Wild organization, but I believe Risebrough is doing the right thing by investing the money in developing draft picks. The Wild's young players like Gaborik and Bouchard will only get better, and they'll soon be joined by players like O'Sullivan and Koivu.
