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
