Weekly 2026 NHL Draft Eligible Three Stars

Both of his tournament points came against Denmark, but his impact has extended well beyond the scoresheet. Among Swedish forwards, only established NHL players Lucas Raymond, Joel Eriksson Ek, and Adrian Kempe have averaged more ice time than the younger brother of Vancouver Canucks prospect Wilson Björck.

With their fourth pick of the draft, the Canucks selected re-entry winger Wilson Björck, older brother of projected top-ten pick Viggo. In 2024, he managed only 24 points in 41 games in the same league where he had exploded this year. Had his D-1 season been even slightly better, he would have gone earlier — even based on genetic talent alone.

Selected 143rd overall, Wilson Björck is now a member of the Vancouver Canucks and will play at Colorado College during the 2025-26 season.

Björck is a creative playmaker. He thinks the game quickly, and his skates usually keep up. While mainly a winger, he has spent significant time at centre and shows an ability to drive play from the middle. Not only can he initiate offense, but he also battles around the net and backchecks ferociously. He will spend 2025–26 in the Allsvenskan, which will quickly reveal whether his trajectory is rising or flattening.
