I soured on wahlstrom. Maybe he developed into great player for them, but i'm a little skeptical now. If Kreider was agreeing to an extension, the offer would be more than what we're looking for now. Instead of 1st + real good prospect/young roster player ready to take on a bigger opportunity/change of scenery player, it would be 1st, + #1/2 prospect in your organization, (assuming they're aren't recent top 5 draft picks - we're not getting a Bowen Byram, Turcotte, or Kotkaniemi)
It would be hard to pull the trigger on 1st, + Wahlstrom and see Kreider signed 7 years with Islanders. Although I can only imagine how good Wahlstome would be with Panarin feeding him the pass. I mean, IT HAS TO BE BETTER THAN FAST FUMBLING EVERY PASS!!
