Walt Ruff(@WaltRuff):It was a pleasure getting to chat with the #Canes' first choice in this weekend's draft, William Håkansson, at Development Camp today. Listed at 6-foot-4, 216 lbs., he's as big as advertised, and he skates well too. Expectedly, he said his past few days have been "hectic," but he was all smiles as he took questions from the media. "[Being drafted] is something you've always dreamed of... [I've heard] a lot of good things about this organization, so I'm super pumped to be here."
