F Charlie Stramel - University of Wisconsin, NCAA (2023, 21st, MIN)

I'm unsure, but I believe they get a pick even if they don't offer him a contract

Wild got a comp pick in 2022 for not offering Johansson a contract
2nd rounder at the very end of the round if I remember correctly. Habs had the same for Fisher back in the 2000s

Yes, the Wild would get a compensatory 2nd if they don't sign Stramel. Flyers just finally got theirs (Jack Berglund was the selection) for not signing mega bust 2018 1st rounder Jay O'Brien
 
I think Stramel has more value than the second pick honestly. The second pick will be aroung +/- 53. I would rather keep Stramel and develop him into a defensive forward than pick with the 53.
Plus you then have to wait for that player to develop.



I wonder if the Wild use him in a trade. Either for a similar prospect, just for a pick(s), or maybe a part in a bigger trade..

Or as anything been said about the Wild believing in him, or something ?

The Wild management has been high on him since they drafted him, I don't see why they wouldn't offer him a contract.
 
Really hard to evaluate what he may be like in the NHL considering the extremely slow start to his NCAA career. Maybe he can be Nick Bjugstad lite in the league if he progresses, but if he doesn't, just feels like he'll be a slightly more skilled, but quite vanilla Brett Ritchie.
