Electricity is really just organized lightning.
I get that it's a result oriented business... but worrying about the life of your newborn has to have a serious impact on you no matter what you do. I cant think of anything more stressful
Willing to give perron the benefit of the doubt on this one.

Wahlstrom isn’t going to help with that. The last time he was good offensively was 2018 in his draft year.

I'd take a chance on Wahlstrom but put him with Stu and push Gaudette down to the bottom 6 where he has shown he can still score.
Wouldn't be a fan of paying Engvall $3 million aav until he's 34. Having said that, his 6 points this year is more than Pinto lol

It sure sounds like Wahlstrom's knee(s?) is done and can't keep up.
We need to get faster, not slower.

Puempel I mean Wahlstrom will get claimed by a bottom feeding team who can park him on one of their PP units.
There’s a reason he’s on waivers. And there’s a reason why he was highly drafted. It’s very low risk. If he can develop chemistry with some one great. Maybe it gives stutzle a trigger man. I mean even if we we get like a nice run of 20 games from him it’s a win.
Stutzle is turning Adam gaudette into a passable 5v5 player. He can do the same for whalstrom
Gaudette is better than Wahlstrom. He’s been better at every single level. The only thing Wahlstrom has on him is “draft pedigree”, but that only lasts so long (see: Boucher, Tyler).
Wahlstrom is an AHLer. If he goes down there, works on his game and figures out how to score in the Pros, maybe he can be another team’s Gaudette in 3 years.
I don't think I would claim him but if you could get them to retain a bit....
Boucher never even had the draft pedigree
Whalstrom has scored 12 and 13 goals before.
Not sure how much better gaudette is.
It sounds like I’m a massive whalstrom fan. I’m not. It’s just a low risk medium reward play. Much like tolvanen a few years ago. And fabbro. And bunch of others that did NOT work.
He could be a reclamation project for some team, I agree. But where do you play him here?
Your post seemed to insinuate that you’d put him with Stützle over Gaudette, which, IMO, would only make that line worse.
Gaudette has already matched Wahlstrom’s career high in goals (in 27 games) and has been a much more prolific scorer at the NCAA and AHL levels in the past. Leads me to believe that the promise people saw in Wahlstrom after 1 year with USNTDP was a mirage. He hasn’t been able to score at any level, and doesn’t do much else.
I don’t see anyone in our lineup that I’d take out to fit Wahlstrom in. Gaudette earned his shot with a 44 goal AHL season. If Wahlstrom does that some team will give him a shot.
