Wild Trivia *answer*

Mike Vernon was the first player taken by the Wild in the expansion draft that never played a game for the team.

FYI, Mike was the second player taken by the Wild in the draft. Jamie McLennan was the first.

Oddly enough, Dwayne Roloson was taken two picks after Vernon - by Columbus - though he signed with the AHL's Worcester Ice Cats instead of reporting to the BJs (and, really, who could blame him).
