Faulk is a very interesting comparison. Forgot he came out of the USNTDP.
If Belpedio is anything like Faulk was as a freshman at UMD, he'll quickly have Wild fans going insane. Within 20 minutes of Faulk's career and certainly by the time he debuted in Duluth it was pretty clear he'd be in the NHL very soon.
It might take year or two to really really show, but this regime is assembling some pretty nice depth throughout the prospect pool. Plenty of players with good upside, and as mentioned a clear emphasis on hockey IQ.
