Small stature of Dante Salituro hasn’t stopped him from chasing NHL dreams

Dante Salituro came to the Minnesota Wild by way of a trade which sent Jordan Schroeder to the Columbus Blue Jackets. He was drafted by the Jackets in 2016 which was actually his second year of being draft eligible. There are some things to get excited about with Salituro, as well as some concerns which is why he went undrafted in 2015.

Salituro hails from Willowdale, a small neighborhood in Toronto. The kid had some good seasons in the OHL, playing for the Ottawa 67’s for four seasons before being traded to the London Knights.
