The deadline for Olympic rosters to be submitted was on New Year's Eve. Which means there aren't any second guessing projections. The rosters are set. There may be some surprises to every roster like there usually is, but what shouldn't be a surprise is how well represented the Minnesota Wild [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/minnesota-wild] are. Recently acquired defenseman Quinn Hughes [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/minnesota-wild/latest-news/quinn-hughes-is-now-third-all-time-in-this-elite-american-defenseman-category] was named as one of the six locks to the roster a while back. He will join two of his Wild teammates on USA. Hughes, 26, didn't play in the 4 Nations and was hurt. So, this will be his first time with the group among some other first timers to the roster. He will join his defense partner Brock Faber on the backend for the Americans. Besides the two defensemen, forward Matt Boldy will join them. Boldy, 24, has recorded 25 goals and 47 points in 40 games. He currently leads all American-born player with 25 goals. Minnesota will be well represented in the Olympics. These three are just the start of what could be 10 or more players in the Olympics.
