Last June when the New York Islanders front office walked into the Draft they couldn’t have thought that Oliver Wahlstrom and Noah Dobson for that fact, would be on the board when they picked at eleven and twelve. The Isles were thrilled to the moon.
Wahlstrom has struggled this year. The eighteen-year-old winger played in 36 games for Boston College this season. However, he only mustered eight goals and nineteen points playing for the Eagles. Also, Wahlstrom did not click with head coach Jerry York.
Wahlstrom decided to leave college and sign his entry-level contract with the Islanders.
