I honestly am not sure you have watched much of Wahlstrom, you are acting like he is some kind of plug.
And enough of the Ovi comparisons, they have some similar traits, but there is a reason why Ovi went #1 and Wall-E will not be...Ovi has been close to generational talent since his draft.
For Wahlstrom, he is more than just a shot. You completely underrate his passing ability, completely ignored his physical play which is very much like Ovi, the kid engages every game with not only some of the biggest hits, but the fact that he goes into high traffic/danger areas tells a story of a player wiling to do whatever to score.
Yes he can look disinterested at times (most snipers do) but he does back check when he has to, and when he does he is pretty relentless in his pursuit.
Go watch Laine for a 5 game stretch and tell me what else he is elite at???? I have watched a lot of Laine, you simply do not have to be great at a lot of things to be great in this league. He is a great goal scorer but can take stretches off as well, it freaking happens! Scoring goals is the most important aspect of the game, and I am about as confident as I have ever been with ANY prospect that Wall-E has a career somewhere between Boeser and Laine in terms of goal scoring, overall talent, and point totals.
If that is there at #8, you absolutely ****ing take it.
