ST. PAUL -- The Minnesota Wild front office is preparing for this month's NHL Entry Draft, which the team is hosting on June 24-25.

Assistant general manager Brian Flahr says it is great to be hosting the event in Minnesota because this is a "hockey market" with thousands of young kids playing hockey who will enjoy watching the festivities. The Wild hold the 10th pick in the first round.
