Minnesota Wild Roundtable: Thanksgiving 2023
November 24, 2023 by Mariah Stark (Holland)
The Minnesota Wild have been a hard team to cheer for this season, and as American Thanksgiving has come and gone, it’s time for another roundtable to determine where they are and where they’re headed. It was pretty easy to come up with things they hadn’t done well, but finding success was a little more complicated.
The Hockey Writers Wild team of Tyson McKay and Mariah Stark came up with some hard-hitting questions to answer about some of the things that have made it difficult for the Wild and some of the small bright spots. A team like the Wild need to see both sides and focus on the good things. We’ll start with the most significant issue the Wild have and go from there.
A Decade of Minnesota Wild 1st-Round Picks Ranked

Being a Minnesota Wild fan in 2023-24 has not been a pleasant experience. The team’s failure to play at the level they are capable of is disappointing and difficult to endure, so we are going to ignore it and rank players instead – because that is a lot more fun.
Over the last 10 seasons, the Wild have made 11 first-round selections in the various drafts, although five of those selections were made in the last three years alone. Nevertheless, here’s a look at each of the Wild’s first-round picks and we’ll rank them based on their skill, contribution to the team, and future potential in the case of the younger players.
