Prospect Info: Tom Willander: 11th Overall 2023 Draft (Rogle BK J20) - Part 02

I don’t like that Hutson and McCarthy pairing

Celebrini is better than McCarthy, AINEC

I get Willander baby sitting Boumedienne

That pairing just isn’t good at even strength defensively
 
Just no. The odds of your scenario working out are very low.
I have an honest question but why low, which part?
Willander will be a longtime Canuck. His ceiling is what you want for every elite defense corp. Speed, hockey sense, skating, RHD with maturity, he can play physical too.

I dont know if EP(D) is really an Edler clone yet, I will be willing to move him 3 times before I trade Willander, who is looking like the best 2 way D out of the 2023 draft so far.
Willander will probably sign, he hasn't yet. But will Tocchet even play him without seeing what he is against pro players? Every guy in the AHL is better than any/most players Willander faces now.

This market is the only market he is getting any notice. Seems pretty vanilla.

Ryan Leonard is better than anybody in the AHL
 
So his season is over. No reason to talk about "trading him". Let's look and see what we've got, the Canucks can sign him anytime now.

Hopefully they sign him tomorrow. Get him over here now, give some practice time, and either play him in Vancouver or Abby. Though don't want him getting gooned in Abby.

It's a catch 22 though. If he looks good, don't trade him. If he doesn't look, don't trade him because his value will be low.

But he absolutely needs to get here so that Tocchet can get a serious look at him. We have EP2 Mancini and Forbert fighting for the 5 - 6th spots. Willander will make that even more difficult.

As I have stated before, We hav Hronek Hughes MP as an incredible top 3. Meyers is playing just fine with them. EP2 looks like he will have a great career as a 4 - 5 shut down D man. Mancini looks decent so far, not sure if he will be a top 4, or a decent 6 -7.

And all this with Mynio and KK in the wings as well.

This might be a better D core than our 2011 group, and they were great.

We won't know if his season is over until Sunday when the tournament selection happens. BU has a legit shot at getting an at large bid for the tournament given they are 7th in the pairwise rankings.
