minnesota draft review 2020-10-26 saturday 24th oct 2020 the minnesota gm harald knew that it might will be THE day of drafing for his team since he is in ehe . everything was set he made some nice cooking he had gin tonic and wodka red bull prepared perfect haircut even the toe nails were cut he had a nice day riding his moto bike in the morning but his mind was all set for this years draft. yes it should have been the draft he was waiting for years but he already had a bad feeling somehow he expected more in the draft lottery so pick 8th was already a bad pick.......and it should be true. the whole organization was prepared to get the best ever talent born in austria named marco rossi to draft but things should get worse.i will not write now how good marco rossi is or will be. so first 3 picks no surprise maybe only that travis took this sick german kid pick 4 solid and somehow harald knew pick 5 could be the turning point he was waiting and waiting and the boom it was coles pick to announce and yes all dreams are gone but hey what the real ott sens did not have the balls cole had them he selected marco rossi and we wish him all the ebst there . so lets come to our picks strange ones but drafting is always gambling .maybe it works maybe not . 8th 2020 MARAT KHUSNUTDINOV most of the other gms surely were expecting alex holtz or anton lundell get picked but no why this russian kid easy explained its pure boom or bust marat is born in st petersburg russia is not the biggest guy but has all the tools u need impressive speed good shots and solid backchecking he is playing in russias 2 tier div the last two years to develop so why at 8 like travis wrote its always the gms choice and the wild organization think he could be that guy with all the usual things born in russia small size and so on in mind we believe marat will make an impact for us in the next years so we picked him that easy and time will tell we all just are very happy to have drafted him 37th 2020 KASPER SIMONTAVAL this pick is again pure risc kasper is born in tampere finland is playing as rw in finish first and second tier again small sized but great hand good vision only bad thing he had few injuries last years but the wild also strongly believe if he puts all his talent mind and will together he could be a top6 pp winger with good scoring touch he should not have any problems joing the finnish and swedish speking players of the wild.................... 68th 2020 THIMO NICKL finally the wild take their first austrian born player ever in real the 2020 draft was the best ever for austria 3 players got picked yes u all will laugh but thas a lot for asutria 2006!!!!! were the last 2 austrians picked named michael grabner and andreas noedl so the waiting come to an end thsi year marco rossi thimo nickl and benjamin baumgartner got picked the wild took their flyer on thimo born in klagenfurt where thebest hockey team in austrias history is located named kac nickl joined with his countrymate fabian hochegger the qmjhl in 2019 and surprised a lot he was leaguewide on of the best def rookies scoring 39 p in 58 games nickl has decent size is a pp quarterback defender class guy on and off the ice has no probelms adapting to a new culture and language and yes we strongly believe he has what it takes to get to the nhl right now he is playing in sweden cause of covid in the junior u20 league there and suceeding well so far he should have no problem understanding the wild gm in the future so thats it from stadl mur styria austria thanks again TO KEVIN MARTINS AND JARED for a great draft again so cool to still be part in ehe P.S MISTER COLE BATES if marco rossi ever has any problem doesnt matter food language climate or with YOU lol dont hesitate do contact me
