28. Pavol Demitra – LW
2 Seasons, 139 Games, 40 Goals, 78 Assists, 118 Points
Pavol Demitra came to Minnesota in 2006 via trade and immediately shined. In his first game he tallied 2 assists and in his second game he scored his first goal in a Wild sweater. Playing with fellow Slovak, Marian Gaborik, Demitra averaged .85 points per game, which is the second highest in Wild history, behind only Gaborik.
Unfortunately, he is the second player on our list to meet his end too early. On September 7, 2011, he along with the entire Lokomotiv Yaroslavl team, perished in an unfortunate plane accident. He was only 36 years old.
Rest in peace Pavol.
