Based on those comments, I don't think the Wild even consider him. This is a team that wants to buy-in to a philosophy, and this guy sounds like someone who wants to tailor his own philosophy.ESPN put out an article on him. It's a VERY good read, actually.

"Take Ho-Sang's philosophy on the coach-player relationship, for instance.
"I think it should be a level playing field. Where it's like, I can talk to you. I can tell you I think you're an idiot and that I think we should be running a different power play, we should be running a different penalty kill," Ho-Sang told ESPN The Magazine. "And you can tell me as a player, 'You're an idiot. You can shut up. I'm the coach.' I want a relationship like that.
..."There is no player like him. No player. Sometimes guys ask, 'Who do you play like?' There's no answer. Either he's that unique or he has to change a bit," said Spitfires part-owner Warren Rychel. "It's a combination of both."
He's the most skilled player in North America. He's the most skilled player to ever come through Windsor," Rychel said, with one caveat. "Skilled player, but not the most complete player."
I don't think he would fit with the character team Fletcher has put together...
I'd not be upset if he was picked or anything, but I'd look at guys like Milano and Pastrnak ahead of him. JMO
