Vancouver Canucks sign top prospect Tom Willander to entry-level contract

On May 14, 2025, the Vancouver Canucks announced they had finalized an agreement with top prospect Tom Willander for a three-season entry-level deal beginning with the 2025-26 season.
The contract followed the Canucks selecting Willander 11th overall in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft and naming Adam Foote head coach just over an hour earlier that day.
Willander, from Stockholm, played two seasons with Boston University Terriers, scoring six goals, and has multiple silver and bronze medals from international junior tournaments.
Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin expressed enthusiasm about securing Tom's contract and noted his readiness to begin his career at the professional level, while also commending his development in the NCAA.
The signing positions Willander to join the Canucks organization soon, though it remains unknown if he will join Abbotsford Canucks for the current playoffs.
