Waived: [BOS] F Oliver Wahlstrom waived by the Bruins

[Dr Robot]

So the top 3 on that list looks like this:

- Ryder, Halak and a 2nd
- Wahlstrom
- trade us ( fill in name of star player ) for our junk

Wahlstrom? I wouldn’t even trade Bozak and a 2nd for him.

Maybe he would have been more polished/better if he ahd stayed longer than 1 season in the NCAA.

I will never understand players who "one and done" out of NCAA. It rarely works out unless you're really good like Celebrini/Connor/Hanifin/etc.

I'd rather take the insurance/development and play the full 4 years.

LouLam just checked and saw that he's a former first round pick, better claim him.

Especially when Wahlstrom threw a tantrum and threatened to go back to the USHL

Which I don’t even think there is a precedent for mid season

I think they said it isn’t allowed

No idea why NYI offered him that contract

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

Looking at his career from his draft year on, it definitely seems like he was rushed into the NHL. That's not to necessarily say things would've been different if he waited a couple more years to turn pro.

Not true at all. He looked good at the beginning of his career.

This was the point of no return. He was never the same afterwards.

I think Chicago should give him a chance or San Jose.

He had at least 5 games in a row where he was our best forward. That guy must have quit.

Adam Gaudette is literally the same player but Walhstrom has more bite.
