The Minnesota Wild successfully managed to get younger with the 20-year old, Will Bitten, whilst trading their defensive depth (a stronger point) for some play-making offensive talent (a weaker point).
Based on Rookie Tournament and pre-season showings, Will Bitten may not quite yet be a steal in this trade, but he definitely has some potential to show at a higher level.
The folks over at Elite Prospects had this to see about him:
A smart offensive catalyst that consistently displays outstanding work ethic, elite hockey sense, and an ability to stay ahead of the play in all three zones.
