Fifteen Greatest Minnesota Wild Players: #15 Pavol Demitra

So without further adieu I present the first player and 15th on my all time best Minnesota Wild player list Pavol Demitra.

Pavol Demitra was not a member of the Wild for very long, but his impact was sudden and elevated the team to its best regular season ever in 2008. The Wild had been searching for a high-profile playmaker to match up with their young gun Marion Gaborik, so they decided to trade for Demitra prior to the 2006-2007 season from the Los Angeles Kings. Right away the two Slovakians hit it off and played great together forming a high scoring attack that had been missing from many of the previous Wild teams.
