For the tournament. They play very different styles and roles. Honestly, neither Van/Det would flip them for each other given what both clubs have on their D core. Det has minute munchers in Seider/Edvinsson while Van has Hughes as the PMD/PPQB already. Both kids represent what their clubs need on the back end.

Yeah I realize for the tournament, it was a follow up to his "hot take" on the last page that Willander was Sweden's best defenseman that I had posted.

I wish there was a way we could try him on our roster now (I.e. the CHL ten game rule). Maybe he sticks.

Yes he’s extremely good at playing defence.

He will be in the NHL once his season is over this year. I'm reasonably sure he will never see the AHL.
