It didn't take long for Casey Wellman to get a job offer after the UMass hockey season ended Saturday...

Wellman could take the ice for the Minnesota Wild tonight as he goes from being a college sophmore to an NHL player...

Wellman was tied for sixth in the nation with 23 goals to go along with 22 assists this season with UMass.

The native of Brentwood, Calif., was undrafted out of high school, meaning any team could offer him a contract to leave school.

Wellman said shortly after the Minutemen were eliminated from the Hockey East Tournament by Boston College Saturday night, his phone began ringing with offers.

"It was pretty overwhelming," Wellman said
