A few years into his career with the Minnesota Wild organization, Connor Dewar continues to take steps forward in his development.
They may be baby steps, but it’s progress nonetheless.
A third-round pick in the 2018 draft, the 22-year old has developed into a bit of a utility man for the organization. Primarily a centre, Dewar's high motor and competitiveness have made him into the perfect plug n’ play support forward. His skating was considered a minus when first drafted. Still, it doesn’t seem to be holding him back from regularly contributing on the penalty-kill, powerplay and even strength, either as a forward or a winger.
