Oliver Wahlstrom may be on the trade block

is it worth it to throw a 3rd round dart to get him?

esp given the quinn injury

It’s probably better than promoting greenway

And we don’t really need draft picks anymore.

Why did he only play 35 games last year?

Got hurt in December and never returned. Think it was a knee or ankle injury.

Why did he only play 35 games last year?
- washedup20

"In a late December matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins at UBS Arena, Wahlstrom exited the game following his first shift and never returned. He was later diagnosed with a lower-body injury and placed on the injured reserve list, cutting his season short after only 35 games.

Before its abrupt end, Wahlstrom showed some promise that he was ready to take the next step by putting up 16 points with seven goals before his fourth NHL.

“I thought I was making strides,” Wahlstrom said on May 1. “The first month was awesome. Then a little bit of a dip, and then I got right back up to where I was again, and then the injury happened. I thought I had a really good summer and a pretty good first half of the season. [It was] very frustrating.”

Although Wahlstrom’s year was cut short, he used the time away from the game to prioritize other aspects, such as nutrition, in preparation for his return. Seven months post-Wahlstrom’s injury, Islanders’ president of hockey operations, Lou Lamoriello, made it clear at his June 6 press conference that the forward will be ready for training camp."

I'd rather see Kulich, but we'll get Olofsson.

You will get Tyson Jost and you will LIKE it!

Sabres in on Backlund... per Ek

Won't happen, but he's one I wouldn't mind if the return was some nominal pick. I don't think he holds the value he once did despite the good year last year.

Thanks

Never watched/payed attention to him play. Big boy though. Anyone got a chart on him?

Guys 34. 1 year left on the contract. Not sure why he wouldn't try to get money and term from Calgary. Dont think he'll get both going into FA next year.

Would be a nice addition for the dot. 50.9% last year.

Tomas Nosek would be cheaper and better if we are looking for a faceoff guy.

Backlund would be a hell of a rental.

Solidify the larry line too.

I like Backlund to come in and boost the top 9 while Quinn is out though.

doubt it happens


but if it did

third line center?
between krebs and peterka?

Doesn't matter. He can play anywhere in the bottom 9 and is an effective forechecking presence with complimentary offense.

You can make a line of Greenway-Krebs-Backlund and he can take the faceoffs. Really doesn't matter.

Looks like a player this team could use.

Hoping whats taking Adams so long is a bigger trade than expected. Multiple player deal. Would be exciting.
