Philadelphia Flyers and Minnesota Wild complete a first round trade

The NFL draft is highly subjective, and you could lose out on a player you really want because of one pick. The Minnesota Wild believed strongly that a trade with the Philadelphia Flyers could occur tonight, and they pursued that course of action. Minnesota completed a deal to advance in the draft while the Flyers were up to select.

Through a trade, the Minnesota Wild were able to advance to the 12th overall pick.

The Minnesota Wild then used the 12th overall pick to select Zeev Buium, who is a proven winner and won championships at all different levels he had played at.
