Wallinder Stays With Red Wings

Detroit’s future just got a big, two-way contract: defenseman William Wallinder is staying put with a two-year extension. The 6-foot-4 Swede, drafted in 2020, has steadily risen through the AHL ranks with Grand Rapids, tallying 54 points in 194 games and even scoring in the playoffs. His international pedigree — including a CHL title and bronze at the 2022 World Juniors — adds to his value. With his size, consistency, and upside, the Red Wings are betting on Wallinder to keep growing — and they’re giving him the time and flexibility to do it.
