On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we look back at previous First Round draft picks to determine whether or not they were hits or misses, and who else was available in years they didn't pan out. We start in the early part of the franchise history when the Wild hit on players like Marian Gaborik, Mikko Koivu and Brent Burns. We also navigate more than a few lean years, with picks such as AJ Thielen and Tyler Cuma. We finish strong with solid selections in Jonas Brodin, Matt Dumba and Joel Eriksson Ek. We look at the eternal "What If" draft moment in 2014 when the Wild traded with Tampa Bay so they could select Brayden Point. As well as missing out on Carey Price.
