As the 2020 NHL Entry Draft approaches, we decided to examine each team’s best and worst pick since the 2000 NHL Entry Draft. The biggest boom is a player that had the best value relative to where they were selected. Meaning, no one in the first round will be considered a team’s best value pick. However, the biggest bust picks will almost always be in the first round. We will examine each player, why they were picked where they were, and what their NHL career was like. Today, the Minnesota Wild draft Boom and their Draft Bust.

Minnesota Wild Draft Biggest Boom and Bust Since 2000


Here is a taste with one of the HMs.


Cal Clutterbuck

Most bottom-six players don’t inspire bidding wars when they become free agents. The New York Islanders were desperate to avoid that with Cal Clutterbuck (72nd, 2006), giving him a 5-year, $3.5 million deal at 29 years old. Only one of the 141 players selected after him are within 200 games, and Mathieu Perreault is 197 back. That’s a pretty good pick in the third round of any year.

Koivu, Haula, and JEE have worked out well for the Wild as drafted centers.

Sheppard was a bust, but the 2006 draft outside of the top-5 was pretty horrible.
