The B’s, ranked 29th in offense (2.48 goals per game), claimed one time 11th overall pick Oliver Wahlstrom off waivers from the New York Islanders. The 24-year-old right wing’s cap hit for this year is $1 million. That leaves the B’s with $121,000 in current caps space, according to puckpedia.com.

Given Wahlstrom has fallen from a potential 40+ goal scorer to an AHLer, it is safe to say the Islanders have not gotten what they hoped for.

VANCOUVER — Oliver Wahlstrom knows how to shoot. The 24-year-old right-shot wing snaps off heavy and accurate pucks. The New York Islanders thought highly enough of Wahlstrom’s puck-launching skill to take him No. 11 overall in 2018.
