Boston Bruins Claim Oliver Wahlstrom off Waivers from the New York Islanders. In this video I look at Wahlstroms NHL career so far. I also give my thoughts on where Wahlstrom will fit in the Bruins lineup and how can help them with their scoring problems.

I was very shocked to see don claim him, I had the same thoughts when he hit waivers. He was a stud goal scorer in the development program, sure doesn’t hurt to give him a chance. I just hope they give him top 6 minutes and an actual chance.
FIRE Sweeney and Neely!!!
Great report BNG.
Wish you would do more videos.
Merry Christmas
Guy's got a wicked wrister, can get the puck top shelf while up tight, and has enough sense to find the open ice and get into passing lanes to make the defensive play.
If he can find the speed, I could see the synergy with Wahlstrom on the Right Wing, Coyle at Center, and Johnson on the Left Wing. Fast and Flashy, but defense would need to be more solid with less activation, and more willingness to work the neutral zone for quick re-entries. Keep the opposition on their toes at their own blueline, possibly force bad line changes to take advantage of. Could even see Wahlstrom on the right of Zacha at Center and Geekie or Brazaeu on the left. The point is, Wahlstrom brings options. This move is a lot better than remaining stagnant and doing nothing.
Good move. He may be a bust, but the potential upside is huge.
Nice to see you back with another video. This move may or may not work out, but he can't be much worse than Tyler Johnson.
well it can 't hurt…and he came free so why not…
Give him a shot in top 9 role bare minimum
