Minny moves up to get possible star

Buium was the 12th overall pick by the Wild in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft on Friday.

ANALYSIS
Buium (pronounced Boo-y-YUM) was the NCHC's top rookie after a 50-point season with Denver -- it was the first 50-pointer by a rookie NCAA defender since at least 2002-03. He earned Frozen Four all-tourney honors after helping lead Denver to the national title. At 18 years old, Buium has game-breaking skills thanks to his elusive skating, elite skills and high-end hockey smarts. He uses those skills in the D-zone to angle guys out and strip pucks, a bit like Morgan Rielly does in Toronto. Buium isn't big, but that won't hold him back. He'll be a dynamic All-Star who will run the power play and wear an A while giving you loads of points. Buium and Brock Faber are going to be a formidable duo for 12-15 years.

Buium told reporters Thursday he was leaning toward staying at the University of Denver next season, per Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.

ANALYSIS
Buium is coming off a fantastic rookie campaign with the Pioneers in which he racked up 11 goals and 39 assists in 42 appearances. The 18-year-old defenseman figures to be a first-round pick in the upcoming 2024 NHL Draft, with some speculation that he could go in the first 10 selections. At this point, it's hard to imagine Buium spending more than one additional year at the collegiate ranks before jumping to the NHL given his offensive pedigree.
