[signing] [MIN] Joel Eriksson Ek signs extension with the Wild (8 years, $5.25M AAV)


Recommended Posts

Fun fact: Eriksson Ek was chosen over Boeser by Minnesota.

 

You can bet Minnesota would wish they could re-do that draft. Eriksson Ek isn't a bad player, but Boeser has vastly outperformed him.

Not to mention Boeser being homegrown.  Think of how bad it would be here if Benning had passed on Jake and Virtanen flourished elsewhere.

I mean he could have passed on Virtanen and taken Ehlers or Nylander and still been good.

I’m still a little bitter that we passed on Lucic and Gallagher. 

Boston basically whiffed on three CONSECUTIVE first round picks in the same draft. Just let that stew for a few seconds...

Still hilarious how bad their scouting was. BPA at their pick was Barzal, Connor and Zboril. They could have had those 3 picks. I mean obviously Chabot is better but I’m pretty sure most mocks had Zboril picked ahead. They reached heavy on Debrusk and even more on Senyshyn who was ranked in the back end of the 2nd round.
