Willander or Wallinder?

[FLAMESFAN]

I know many confuse these 2 Swedish DMen, but does one stand out from the other?

Willander is the younger, smaller prospect drafted by Vancouvern11th OA last summer
Wallinder is bigger (6'4), 3 years older, drafted by Detroit 32 OA in 2020

Who's the better prospect?

Wings fan... Wallinder is a solid prospect but Willander pretty easily right now.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Two good young prospects but I have Willy over Wally.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Willander by a lot.

Wallinder is good, but not in the same category.

 

[FLAMESFAN]

Pretty decided already. Thought it might have been a bit closer.

Willander is gonna be a top 20 defenseman in the NHL at some point

Willander may be shorter but he’s still got plenty of size and is ultra-athletic. He’s gonna be a b-tch to play against in a few years. Great skater, great athleticism, reads the game really well for a teenager and has big compete level. And IMO, some definite offensive upside that can be tapped into over time. He will/should be very good in transition even if he’s not a flashy finisher in the offensive end.

Hard not to envision him next to Quinn at some point, even with the job Hronek has done.

Willander or ASP is a better discussion.

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

I like Wallinder and I think he'll be a respectable NHL defenseman but Willander is probably better now and better in the future.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

Willander or ASP is a better discussion.

Or Wallinder vs. Elias Petterson (D)

Willander. I personally think these guys play in different categories tbh.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Little unfair to Wallinder tbh. Obviously Willander is the more highly touted prospect.

 

[FlyguyOX]

Could tell ya the difference

 

[MNRube]

Next vote will make 50 and nobody has picked Wallinder yet. Lock her up, mods

 

[Three On Zero]

Wallinder, because pity vote

 

[FLAMESFAN]

I'm glad to see my error (2) didn't beat Wallinder lol

 

[RedHawkDown]

weird thread. Did you just make this because their names are similar ? Willander is very obviously the better player and better prospect , by a lot.
