2. Needs to show more offensive consistency if he is to be a top prospect

Skill:

A big two way defenseman that has unlimited offensive upside

Scouting Report:

William Wallinder is a heady two-way defender with top-pairing potential, Wallinder combines physical play with excellent mobility and solid puck skills.
He dominated the J20 Allsvenskan to earn a midseason promotion to the adult-age Allsvenskan, where he got better and better as the season progressed.
Wallinder is at his best in the defensive zone but showed an improving offensive game by joining the rush and getting the puck to the net.
Fascinating puck-mover with size and skating ability, think along the lines of an Roman Josi, whose value may not be truly appreciated until later in his career.
Because William Wallinder is so raw offensively, even though he has massive potential, he might go in the second round, just like Roman Josi.

NHL Potential: 

Top pair shutdown defenseman

Style Comparison: Roman Josi

2024 Offseason Preview ft. New Jersey Devils

The New Jersey Devils the playoffs in the 2023-24 season after making it into the second round of the playoffs last season, and finished the season with a total of 81 points, a 38-39-5 record; With Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier in the midst of their primes, the New Jersey Devils really need to start to buckle down and put together the pieces for a contending team.
