Joel Eriksson-Ek is taking the State of Hockey by storm. The 2015 1st Round Draft Pick of the Minnesota Wild wasn’t expected to be here at this level just yet. But the 19-year old Swede has shown what a lot of hard work and dedication can do, as he’s made it to the NHL club only one year after being drafted.
Still the Wild face a dilemma with their young star. The club will need to decide in five games to either to keep him on the Wild roster and start the first year of his three-year contract, or they can return him to Sweden and not burn the first year of his contract.
