In the 2019-20 Player Review series, we will evaluate the 2019-20 performances of each member of the Minnesota Wild during the regular season. Players were evaluated based on overall performance with regard to pre-season expectations and how that player performed in their particular role.
Anytime a club uses a first-round draft choice on a player, that team clearly trusts that big results will eventually come in return from that player. And while the Minnesota Wild didn’t select Ryan Hartman with the No. 30 overall pick in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft (that was the Chicago Blackhawks), they still expected to get a solid return on investment.
