Detroit has locked up some defensive depth on Thursday after the team announced they had signed 23-year-old William Wallinder to a two-year, two-way contract extension. The 23-year-old was Detroit's 2020 2nd round pick (32nd overall) but has yet to make his NHL debut after spending the last three seasons in Grand Rapids (AHL). He is expected to start 2026-27 with Grand Rapids but could make an NHL appearance with strong play early on.


Wallinder was the Red Wings' 2020 second-round pick (32 overall) and signed a three-year entry-level contract starting in 2023-24. The 20-year-old puck-moving defensemen had seven goals, 19 assists, 10 PIMs and a +3 with Rogle BK (SHL).
