Joseph Willis

March 2025 -The Nashville Predators signed Willis to a three-year, entry-level contract. Mark Henry

June 2023 – Willis was selected in the fourth round (111th overall) in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft by the Nashville Predators. Pat Quinn

June 2023 – Willis is a smart, high-motor, smooth-skating forward who drives impressive transition results, excelling as a carrier between the dotted lines. His physicality has some catching up to do, but he has a lot of strong foundational physical habits that will help him thrive with added lower body strength. His defensive game is one of his greatest strengths; he consistently forces turnovers when defending the rush and is also a consistently active defender in the defensive zone. He has middle-six upside as a two-way skilled play-driver who can score from in tight and flashes good playmaking around the slot, weaponizing his and his teammates’ movement. Sebastian High
