Chuck Fletcher and the Wild sit idle in first round of entry draft

So we made it through the first round of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. Your Minnesota Wild were not able to get themselves up to the podium through a trade which has a lot of Wild fans upset. Fletcher has made promises to make this team better. He has continually made trades and signed players trying to do that but the team has still struggled to make it out of the first round.

I get the frustration. I really do. I’ve been a big fan of Minnesota hockey for a long time now, and I’ve certainly had my share of heart-wrenching disappointments (see: 1990-91 North Stars).
