While some would disagree, it is no sure thing that Liam Ohgren has a spot on the Minnesota Wild’s roster to start this season. A good training camp is needed for the 21-year-old winger to really solidify and carve out his own spot. And Ohgren seems to know it — the young forward has taken his offseason lifting extremely seriously and in a new photo, he looked big as heck.
Ohgren is getting so massive and ripped that the NHL’s official Twitter account is posting about it. He’s played 26 total NHL games and he’s getting this attention.
Ohgren scored 19 goals and 37 points in 41 games for the Iowa Wild last season.
