Willander, 20, was Vancouver’s first-round pick (No. 11 overall) in 2023. He is in his sophomore season with Boston University.
Tom Willander has taken over the top spot in the Vancouver Canucks' prospect rankings, replacing Jonathan Lekkerimäki, who was recently called up to the main roster. Willander, a 20-year-old defenseman from Boston University, was the Canucks' first-round pick in 2022. His promotion to the top spot comes as Lekkerimäki, a winger, moves up to the NHL team. Players in the rankings must be born in 2000 or later and not be with the main club. Willander, who has been performing well for Boston University, is now ranked No. 1, while Lekkerimäki has been dropped from the rankings.
