Knew this would happen as soon as we hired a Swedish GM. Should've taken Benson. This team man, I'm just about done.
Canucks will still be soft if they keep drafting sweds.
As a Canucks fan I'm happy. Let's go Willander!
great agility and puck movement, needs to improve his shot from the point though. Don't know why people are mad because we added another sweed, he is exactly what the canucks need.
DAMN IT
Leave it up to Canucks fans to cry about not getting a Dman, then cry about getting a Dman.
Canucks are gonna draft all of Sweden
dummies here that wanted another small forward. we already have a benson and their names are garland hoglander boeser
Let's get Huggy and D Partner. I love it
A Canadian franchise with no Canadian players. Lame
i would of preferred benson
I think when he gets here no one will complain. He will compliment Hughes. See's the ice well. Like a Swiss Army Knife. He can do a lot and will just get better. And he can play physical.
we need dman prospects/dman in general, so while a bit confused by the pick it is needed
I love it when people who have barely laced up skates and never played more than peewee are suddenly experts on who’s going to be good and who isn’t. My favourite (cough) are the people who can’t help themselves and have to be racist about it. “Swedes are soft!” Apparently they didn’t grow up in the 80s and 90s. The Samuelsson brothers were everything but soft. Hedman? These days, nationality means nothing. And I’d rather have Willander, a guy with top 4 potential than some winger who has just as much chance of not panning out. Benson is the sexy pick because he played for the Giants, but the last time we picked a local speedster, it didn’t work out so well. They could have done a lot worse. I wanted Simashev because he’s a big, potential top pairing D. But what do I know? I like the pick. And if Juolevi hadn’t gotten hurt and then gotten COVID, who knows what he could have been? He got really sick and ask Sutter how that stays with you.
Poor kid 😔
As a swede, I'm happy to soon be on the Canucks team!
As much as i would've like the Canucks to have taken ASP i think his size really played a factor in them choosing Willander over ASP. They definitely chose needs over best player available as there were a few high end forwards still on the board at pick 11 like Benson, Barlow, Perreault. Really hope they didn't 2nd guess themselves here…..we don't need another Jolevi mistake again.
Love the pick! Welcome to Canucks Willy!!!
It's funny how everyone has an opinion on a player they likely have never seen play. Im just happy they didnt trade the pick away
What's his timeline? 3 years? Should be a solid player, though.
I like Willander but why not benson
I'm really not that familer with any of these players(besides Bedard) so all i can do is trust the GM and the scouts to make the best pick then complain about it later if it doesn't work out.
Goodbye Tyler Meyers
betman getting a little to much touchy feely with these kids. i dont like it. he 4 sure visited epstein island.
why do the canucks always pick swedes? so lame
only bandwagon noobs thought canucks would pick pellika over willander. dummys
a team who's defense is sooo soft, lets add another swede…brutal…when will this team get it and draft guys that are hard to play against…useless
I wanted benson but he's cool too
Great pick!!
