On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we turn back the clock to redraft the 2000 NHL Draft. We look at how the top 10 changed based on actual production, and a scenario in which the Wild still ended up with Gaborik. We discuss why he was the right pick with where the Wild were at as a franchise, and why it was vital they grab a franchise cornerstone. We look at a scenario in which he went 2nd to Atlanta, forcing the Wild to make a different selection, and make the case for Dany Heatley as opposed to Niklas Kronwall. We finish by looking at alternatives in the second round in the event that Nick Schultz was actually drafted in the first round and why that is a more palatable loss than Gaborik in the 1st round.
