Bolde Wilde is a talented player who still gives me all of the same concerns I had last this time last year.

In fact, the Islanders 2018 first and second draft picks, though incredibly skilled and talented, gives me more than a few concerns.

Wahlstrom is now looking for his third playing option in two years, and struggled this season.

Noah Dobson showed me once again than he projects as a second pair defenseman and not a guy who drives a team.

Bode Wilde looks like a forward playing defenseman and plays a game very well suited for junior hockey.

While that is a fair point, I don't think we would be revisiting not selecting Wilde if we hadn't gone off the board for a random goaltender. In which case although Wilde's warts are evident, I think the fan base could live with it better than Lindbom. Are the fans ever right (including myself)? Rarely. :laugh: But, Lindbom was so off the board, I think this is one of those times where they have a legitimate gripe about knowing better than the team.

At the same time, we thought we knew better on the Kravtsov pick...
