Wanted to start a "guy no one knows about on your team that they should" and mention Cuylle. lol

But honestly, I just wanted to brag about Cuylle.

Amazing how badly we screwed up the 7 overall pick but ended up getting good value for the pick we get back, late in the 2nd round.
The best part about him is that he’s out best defensive forward. I don’t know how it happened, but he’s like future Selke contender good I think. Don’t remember one obvious defensive mistake since he came into the league. Meanwhile, Zibanejad, Panarin, Lafreniere cause goals against all the time. Wish they were like Will.

Isn't Wahlstrom more of a sniper than a powerforward?

At this point he's neither.

The possibility of him becoming a 3rd liner capable of scoring 15 while being able to play a physical game is still there.

The possibility of his excellent shot resulting in a 2nd or 1st line sniping forward isn't there. Like hundreds of others in hockey history there were glimpses, hope amongst the fanbase that just got shattered with reality.

Never seen him play. What about him? Who does he compare to? What's his ceiling?
His brother but meaner and without the wheels. Ceiling is probably third line guy that can get 30 points. Dakota Joshua kinda

a power forward doesn't have to play on the wing. even better if you find a center with a power game.
I feel like an integral part of being a power forward is being a menace in front of the net which just doesn't really translate to the center position
