William Wallinder Facts

Cap Hit: $875,000Powered by
NHL Rights: Detroit Red Wings / Signed
Drafted: 2020 round 2 #32 overall by Detroit Red Wings
Agency: Premium

Wallinder towers over the competition, standing 6-foot-4 and weighing 194 pounds -- there's plenty of room for him to fill out that frame. He might be the most technically skilled skater among all defenceman in this draft. He's a great puck-carrier, eager to lead his team up the ice, and with a great deal of initiative in creative offensive chances. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
