Today, the Nashville Predators announced they have signed defender Adam Wilsby to a two-year, entry-level contract.
The 21-year-old Swede was taken 101st overall at the 2020 NHL Entry Draft by Nashville—his last year of draft eligibility. Standing at 6’0” tall, Wilsby has grown up in the Skellefteå system and played the last two seasons in the SHL. In his draft year, he quietly posted 30 points in 41 games in the second-tier HockeyAllsvenskan before making the jump to the top league for the 2020-21 campaign.
In 48 games that year, Wilsby scored six goals and 18 points, finishing eighth on the team and scoring and second amongst defenders.
