I think there is a lot of high end talent in the top 10 in this draft so I stepped up and overpaid a bit to get another high pick.

This is a bit of a risky trade for Flambers. He needs Perfetti to hit. He's a regular, but hasn't stepped up yet...still only 21 yrs old.
At the same time, Perfetti was in talks to be a 6 to 10 overall pick in what was considered a strong draft year in 2020. So it isn't like Grant is guaranteed to get somebody better than Perfetti.
Zac Jones is a solid dman, but hasn't established himself as a regular, same as Soderblom.
But flambers does have 3 chances to hit something, where Grant has one.
Interesting deal. It's great that the Wild have the 3rd, 5th and 9th pick in this draft though...again I was concerned about Minny's prospect depth.
