[Vancouver Canucks] “I want to be a top defenceman on a team and someone who can lead a team to a championship. That’s my goal.” Building Blue continues with 2023 #NHLDraft first-round pick, Tom Willander.

Kid seems like a consummate professional and the latest in a chain of driven and determined Swedes for the Canucks. Wherever he ends up in our future D-core, top 4 or bottom 4, I’m excited to have his personality and perspective in the locker room.
Championships eh? Please excuse my friend, he’s a little slow. The championship teams are elsewhere.
Gets called up for the playoff push this year, makes impact in playoffs, gets the apple on the GWG to clinch the Stanley Cup. 2024 Champs.
Love the confidence. With Benson on the table my kneejerk reaction to the pick was a little disappointment, but I have to remember this team’s record with Swedish first round picks…
It’s going to be fun seeing what Willander (and Lekkerimaki) bring to the team in a couple years.
