Wild Gambling on Andersson's Ceiling With Third-Round Pick

The Wild clearly see potential that other teams passed on, and they're willing to invest development time in a prospect with significant upside. This kind of calculated risk-taking in the middle rounds is where smart organizations separate themselves from the rest of the pack.
