Defensemen

Louie Belpedio

A talented right-shot defender who will give the Wild some flexibility in their D situation. He will likely start as a bottom pair defender, and depending on his development earn heavier minutes and even power play time later on in his rookie season.

Joakim Ryan

Ryan’s responsible, two-way style is desirable to get and hold down an NHL job. Has the vision and first-pass ability to contribute on the scoresheet as well.

Paul LaDue

By |2021-01-04T01:20:57-05:00January 3rd, 2021|

LaDue has the potential to be a solid second-pairing defenseman. He has some upside in that he has the skill to be a quarterback on the power play; smooth skating, a good shot, and he moves the puck around well.
