Wow, this is pretty big news. I have to assume Wahlstrom will get claimed. Something big must be happening on Long Island.

Edit...Didn't realize Engvall was signed until the end of time, I thought he was expiring this year.

Wow, this is pretty big news. I have to assume both get claimed. Something big must be happening on Long Island.

Doesn’t Engvall have a long term contract?

If be surprised if either get picked up.

 

[TheNumber4]

Is there any potential left in this former 1st round pick. He’s been mediocre to bad for a long time now.

Barzal and Pelech are coming back from injury soon, could be as simple as needing the space.

Duclair due soon too.

Engvall was waived before the season started and cleared. Don't think many teams are interested in picking up a contract that runs through 2030.

I still have some pre-2018 draft threads burned in my memory. This one poster made it their mission to prove that Wahlstrom was a better prospect than Brady Tkachuk based on some specious logic.

 

[StewieP19]

He's gonna be claimed

Not sure on Engvall. $3 million cap hit until 2030

 

[seafoam]

Good riddance.

No one's touching the Engvall contract.

I didn’t realize wahlstrom was this bad. How did he get so much worse from when he broke into the league?

With that shot he can have Frk-like career in the AHL.

 

[miscs75]

All other teams: Please claim him. We’ll even throw in a few dozen bagels.

 

[JiricekSaveUs]

Yeah he’s ass

 

[Jacob]

Not to kick him while he’s down but I never saw anything appealing here.. Aside from having a big shot but so did Frk.

Knee injury

 

[Raistlin]

thank goodness they picked Dobson after this pick. what a disaster it'd be otherwise.

 

[McGarnagle]

I've disliked him since he showboated in the mini one-on-one competition on NESN when he was like 9.

 

[895]

What kind of contract is this? 7x3m? Is this a joke?

Why would you sign a contract so long with such a low AAV?

 

[mm11]

after the knee industry, he had trouble keeping up. Another swing and Miss for the NYI in their decades long search for a sniper

 

[Kevin Musto]

Poor Wahlstrom can't skate to save his life.

Kudos to Engvall for robbing the Islanders. Genuinely one of the funniest contracts in the league.

Engvall expired well before joining the Islanders. I guess Lou didn't get the memo.

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

He'd probably be our most offensively capable forward on day 1 if the Bruins got him.

 

[Northernhawk]

Chicago BETTER claim him…they already have Joey Anderson waiver pass approved

He doesn’t have hockey sense.
