Oliver Wahlstrom Shocked By Comments Made By Captain Brad Marchand Regarding HIm
The Boston Bruins claimed Oliver Wahlstrom off of waivers this week. The former 1st round pick will get a fresh start with his hometown team.
In a feel-good story, Oliver Wahlstrom has returned home to Massachusetts, to play for the Boston Bruins. The former 1st round pick will get to don the Black and Gold and get a fresh start.
The move wasn't expected but with the team needing a spark in the offense, claiming someone like Wahlstrom wasn't a bad idea. He has an affordable cap hit of $1 Million dollars, and for a cash-strapped team like the Bruins, it made sense.
Since he arrived in Boston, Captain Brad Marchand was asked about the move to bring Wahlstrom into the fold.
This season he's been a disappointment with the Islanders, scoring 4 points( 2 G, 2 A) in 27 games.
But that didn't stop Brad Marchand from giving Wahlstrom a huge compliment.
Wahlstrom was taken aback by the comparison and obviously has a huge amount of respect for David Pastrnak. He humbly responded.
It's already made an impact on Wahlstrom, and Marchand is working quick obviously to make him feel welcome in the B's locker-room.
This is just part of the fairytale for Wahlstrom who gets to play with his favorite NHL star, Brad Marchand.
While Joe Sacco gave us an idea of when we can see him in the lineup, as he's been practicing with different Bruins lines.
With hope Wahlstrom can set new career-highs in the Bruins lineup, as he scored 24 points(11 G, 13 A) in 2021-2022 and has been unable to play to his draft position(11th overall in 2018).
