The Minnesota Wild are blessed. And cursed.
Matt Boldy, drafted 12th overall back in the 2019 NHL Draft, has exceeded expectations and has been able to deliver as if he was taken much earlier than he was. At 6-foot-2 and 201 lbs, the sizeable forward is hard to muscle off the puck and can use his size to his advantage when backchecking. At only 21 years old — he turns 22 on April 5 of this year — he's far more defensively sound than most of those drafted ahead of him.
This isn't to take away attention from his offensive production, either.
