Max Vilén is a large and competitive defenceman with good intentions. Never shy to carry the puck, the Hammarlöv-born defenceman was a regular part of the Malmö attack, whether it was leading the rush up ice or activating into the play from the offensive blue line. With these activations comes the occasional flash of advanced playmaking ideas in the form of look-offs and drawn pressure to create space elsewhere. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
