At 122nd overall (brought in on the Lettieri trade), the Wild draft HIFK’s Aron Kiviharju. Very highly toughed a few years ago. Smart, skilled, undersized defenseman.

   is 5’11 really undersized these days? Cale Makar, Hughes? all by definition undersized

   What an amazing pick. I would have been fine with him in round 2. A few years ago he was projected to go top 5. I love how Judd is targeting the smartest defensemen. He is “undersized” but is still 2 or 3 inches taller than Spurgeon and 20 pounds heavier.

   What made him drop so much, he was on the ‘best available remaining players board’ on espn just about all of last night.

   Whatever Judd is cooking, I want a plate.

   From MTL, was curious to see your reactions about this pick. I’m astounded he dropped so low. Played very well in the U18 championships.

   So, Wild bullish on defensemen I take it
