The Wild Should Target Trading Up For Cayden Lindstrom

The Minnesota Wild's biggest need in the draft is a prospect who can play in the NHL immediately. Pending next week's lottery, they hold Pick 13 in the 2024 Draft, and the pressure is on the Wild front office. The highest the Wild could realistically trade up is to third overall, which is currently owned by the Anaheim Ducks. Anaheim is a good trade partner because they already have two first-round picks in this year's draft (No. 24) and the flexibility to move up and down the draft board as they wish.
