Today The Athletic’s Corey Pronman released his top prospects under the age of 23 today (subscription required). Not just the ones in the New York Islanders system but the top U-23 players in the NHL. And Oliver Wahlstrom ranked near the bottom.
The Isles first-round pick in 2019 and eleventh overall pick and look that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Wahlstrom is ranked around a guy like Joe Veleno and below a player like Vitali Kravtsov. A ranking that doesn’t necessarily add up.
Wahlstrom will exceed that expectation in 2021-22.
