The Detroit Red Wings extended William Wallinder’s contract for two years on June 25, 2026. It’s a two-way deal worth more money if he plays in the NHL, less if he stays in the minors.
Wallinder, only 22, scored just three points in 50 games last season. Detroit now holds his rights through 2028. He is due back at training camp in September, with coaches likely to decide where he starts once camp wraps up. The organization remains optimistic in his development. This agreement provides him a clear chance to show his value. Fans will monitor his progress intently this fall.
