3 Wild Prospects that could have a Major Impact in 2024-25!

Locked On Wild - Your Daily Minnesota Wild Podcast

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we look at 3 rookies who could have a MAJOR impact in 2024-25! We start with Riley Heidt and the likelihood becoming more and more that he sticks beyond his 9 game "cup of tea". We look at he skillset that Heidt brings to the table despite his small stature, and why the Wild are in desperate need of skill to help balance out the lineup. We move to Liam Ohgren, and look at how his small 4 game sample could translate to a full season. Ohgren brings an intriguing size profile, but another desperately needed offensive skillset. We project his numbers out based on a 2.5 shots per game average and a 3 shots per game average to see where he would rank amongst Wild players this year on offense. We discuss his "shoot first and get to the net" mentality that again is something so desperately needed by Wild forwards. We finish discussing Jesper Wallstedt, and why if Filip Gustavsson is indeed traded, there will be no one left to stand in Jesper's way of the starting goalie position besides Marc-Andre Fleury for this year only. We look at the inconsistencies in net the Wild suffered all year and why Jesper could come in and help smooth those out.
