THN Mock Draft: Minnesota Wild Pick No. 13

Yesterday we looked at who the Wild could pick with their 45th overall pick, today we decide who the Wild should take with pick No. 13. 

With the 45th overall pick, the Minnesota Wild select ... Cole Eiserman from the U.S. National Development Program. 

Do you like this pick? Tell us here.

Why pick him? Eiserman is one of the best scorers in the whole draft. He is coming off a record breaking season for the USNTDP where he scored 58 goals in 57 games and scored nine goals in seven games at the World's Under 18's. 

What the scouts say: "There's no backup game tight now. He struggles on 'D' and he's never the first guy back. But if you're going to have one attribute, scoring is a pretty good one to have."

"He needs to round out his game and play with more compete. He's an incredible scorer. He just needs to show us another side to his game."

Who are the other options? There are tons of options at 13. Some believe there are 12 super good players who's games should translate to the NHL. This is fitting considering the Wild are at 13 but there are still a few guys that would be worth while for the Wild to draft.
