Wilson Björck – 2025 NHL Draft Prospect Profile

In terms of on-ice play, Björck isn’t super skilled but fairly well-rounded. Offensively, he has a knack for getting in the right areas for his teammates to pass to. He doesn’t shy away from the net-front and can score from medium range, even without a necessarily high-end shot. Additionally, he displays good vision—this is most noticeable in the offensive and neutral zones, where he makes smart plays. He’s a decent skater with good speed, also.

Björck’s motor is arguably the biggest standout trait in his game. He could use a boost in strength, as he can get overpowered despite having about a league-average frame, but the effort is there. He’s the one who battles for pucks on his lines, and he does a good job of winning those battles. That’s not exclusive to the offensive zone, however—he’s perhaps more relentless defensively.

While Björck doesn’t do anything particularly high-end, he has a blend of traits that should get him consideration from NHL clubs. His production signifies that he has the potential to excel in Swedish pros moving forward, at the very least.

Wilson Björck – NHL Draft Projection

If Björck gets selected, he’s likely a late-round pick. This is just speculation, but a minor factor that could come into play is wanting intel on his brother. Wilson’s good in his own right, but getting to know the ins and outs of an early first-round candidate for next year’s draft is never a bad idea.

Quotables

NHL Potential

Like the aforementioned Engvall and Soderblom (who have far bigger frames, admittedly), Björck can be a bottom-six or depth forward in the NHL. His next few seasons professionally in Sweden will be important in determining his upside.
