That’s Wild
- Thanks for the draft pick Filip! The Minnesota Wild have received a comensatory second-round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft due to not signing their 2018 first-rounder Filip Johansson to an entry-level contract. The pick will be at 56th overall, because Johansson was selected 24th overall, and 24 plus 32 (teams) is 56. Math!
The #mnwild has received a compensatory 2022 second-round draft pick as a result of not signing D Filip Johansson. Minnesota now has seven selections in the 2022 NHL Draft: First Round, Second Round (2), Third Round, Fourth Round, Fifth Round and Sixth Round.
