Aron Kiviharju, a fourth-round pick for the Minnesota Wild, aims to silence critics after sliding to pick 122 due to a significant leg injury that hampered his visibility among scouts. Previously ranked as a top prospect, Kiviharju is known for his skating, offensive playmaking, and high hockey intelligence, logging over 20 minutes per game in Finland's U20 league as a 17-year-old. His current status sees him returning to Finland for further development while he recovers.
