University Of Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs‘ right wing graduate Nick Swaney(13) takes four seasons of consistent scoring numbers to a 1-year entry level contract with his home state draft club, Minnesota Wild (7th round, 2017, #209 overall) that starts for 2021/2022 but will sign an ato with affiliate Iowa Wild to start immediately.
The 5’11” 175 lbs. forward scored 20+ points in each of his college campaigns with his best total 28 most recently as a senior.
He was also a point-per-game skater in two years at the USHL for Waterloo Blackhawks.
We have a feeling he gets started on the scoresheet sooner than later.
He spends all of his playing time in the AHL, scoring pretty big, but gets injured last season to throw things off track.
For 2024/2025, he does something he has yet to do in his pro career, signs a minor league deal with Chicago Wolves.
