Jack Peart has signed a new contract with the Minnesota Wild.

This guy is not only going to be an NHLer, he's going to be good.

You read it here first.

Nope I have read this elsewhere already.

Minnesota is quietly assembling one of the best young bluelines in the league. Peart is so so good and I really hope to see him play with Faber. Moves the puck so well, and has such a good feel for the game. His IQ is immediately noticeable, second only to his skating. Getting Peart in the second round was such great value for Minnesota, and he is going to turn a lot of heads in the NHL. I've been super impressed with Peart's game in my viewing of St. Cloud.

Like I said before, Peart - Faber has all the makings of being one of the most elite pairings in the NHL.

The only thing that would make Jack Peart cooler is if he was related to Neil Peart, but alas

He's a tough kid to project; opinions are all over the map, but I'll always bet on "high IQ, elite skating" types any day.

Chisholm, Lambos, Peart, and O'Rourke all competing on the left side in Minny behind Brodin/Middleton and eventually take over will be interesting to see who emerges.

Having a future D-Core consisting of:
Faber
Brodin
Middleton
Peart
Hunt
Lambos
Chisholm

Is pretty sick. Can assume one or two of those guys will leave or be moved, but that a pretty deep young blue line.

Is Ryan O'Rourke not progressing?

He has struggled this year. I still think he has a lot of potential, but right now I think I would probably have all of these guys over him in terms of how likely I think they are to be NHL caliber players.

Wild have a nice assemblance of good Dman can honestly consider moving one of the prospects eventually if they have to many and bring in other help
