During the U18s I kept watching the Sweden games to get a good look at ASP because I figured he’d be who our scouts would target. However I kept finding myself watching Willander more and more, to the point where I was annoyed with him because he was distracting me from scouting out ASP lol!
No word of a lie, by the last two games Sweden played I starting thinking that maybe this Willander guy should be the one we’re targeting. He perfectly fits our needs and his build and game seemed just a bit more projectable to the NHL than ASP.
Needless to say I’m very stoked by this pick.
