Mark Alt a potential gem in the rough?

can't wait to be back in Minni so i can watch some of our high school games, but any thoughts on him, he seems a competitive player who plays hard and has a good amount of untaped skill.

and he's..........

ONE OF OUR OWN

He's got good size and good skating ability which always starts you on the right foot... especially for a defenseman. He is a bit raw and has a ways to go. He'll be a bit of a project.

its a good think i'm not the wild GM i would pick nothing but minnesotans in the first 3 rounds 9 years of not drafting them would be made up for.


in seriousness tho, 2nd rounders are usually a bit of a work, with proper guidance he could be ready in 2 years, i'm quite excited to see what we do this draft year.
