It’s a high risk/reward based on how he dropped in the draft like you said. The guy I personally wanted went well ahead (Buium) of the Islanders spot at 20. What they need to do is let him develop instead of what they did with the last 2 “snipers” drafted. The NHL comparison to Wahlstrom is what scares. Wahlstrom is absolutely lost out there and has borderline sluggish speed.
Basically this, not his biggest fan but the Isles are the one team who can take that risk and hope he pans out very soon to be the missing guy next to Barzal/Horvat. Barzal has PTSD of shooting and Horvat isn't the fleetest of foot to consistently carry that line with Barzal and then the obvious third guy being useless in most scenarios in recent years for the Islanders.
