Oh man. In the defensive and neutral zones, 3:51 is the only time in this entire game that Willander even attempts to pass to a forward (rather than going d-to-d or carrying it himself). . . and there's a chance that he was actually aiming for his d partner. We've seen talented defense prospects who are raw with the puck, but this is a whole other level. With Willander, we have a potential 1st-rounder who can play 21 minutes without even TRYING a single breakout/outlet pass. Even on the PP. In the J20, against other teenagers.

He sure has an alternative career in pro figure skating...
very fast both going backwards and forwards.
