About this episode
On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Alex Micheletti joins as we recap a very successful 2024 Draft Class for the Wild! We discuss how Zeev Buium fell to the Wild, and why no matter what Philadelphia says it looks like they fumbled the bag by not selecting Buium due to his "lack of size". We also discuss some initial thoughts on the other top picks Ryder Ritchie and Aron Kiviharju. We also discuss the acquisition of Jakub Lauko from Boston and what he brings to the table. We discuss the players the Wild gave qualifying offers to in Graeme Clarke, Adam Raska, Sammy Walker and Declan Chisholm. We also look at the reasons that Sam Hentges, Dmitry Ovchinnikov, Mason Shaw, Simon Johansson and Hunter Jones were not extended qualifying offers. We finish by discussing Free Agency, and why it's likely the Wild do something even if they don't have a ton of money to spend.
