Mister Know it all believes he will be the highlight of this Wild draft when its all said in done with. Neal Broten was 42nd overall and Mario Lucia is 51st. As far as Minnesota pros playing local he might rival Broten

Flahrs comments about we don't draft players because they are from Minnesota is laughable. Some truth to that but certainly not like Mister Flahr is stating

Whether his father is still coaching the Gophers or not, I very much hope to be able to watch Mario play at Mariucci in 2012-13!

Not a bad move but why not move up higher and get Glandland's brother who went at pick #45? Once again all the old trades of picks has comeback to haunt us.

You know he will be a good player and help the Gopher program to success. I hope he also helps the Wild back to success in yrs to come.
