History
2005-06: The 6’1/195 lbs. local product made a quite a splash in his rookie campaign for Providence College. The instinctive defenseman led all Friars blueliners in scoring with 21 points (six goals, 15 assists). Wild’s outstanding season earned him numerous accolades including a selection to the Hockey East All-Rookie team.
2006-07: Still led his defensive teammates in scoring despite missing 4 games and playing well below 100 percent due to a torn labrum. Had off season surgery and appeared at Edmonton's June prospect camp in a limited role because of rehab.
Talent Analysis
Wild is a very smart defenseman who is blessed with natural offensive ability. He is an excellent skater with speed and is very active.
