JUST TWO WEEKS;BOSTON BRUINS SHOCK FANS BY REMOVING OLIVER WAHLSTROM OFF WAIVERS AFTER…
Boston, MA – In a stunning move, the Boston Bruins have removed Oliver Wahlstrom from waivers, just two weeks after claiming him from the New York Islanders.
According to sources close to the team, the decision to remove Wahlstrom from the roster was due to a combination of factors, including his struggles to adapt to the Bruins’ system and the emergence of other young players within the organization.
“Wahlstrom is a talented player, but unfortunately, things just didn’t click for him here in Boston,” said Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney. “We appreciate the effort he gave us, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”
Wahlstrom, who was claimed by the Bruins on December 5, played in just five games for the team, registering one assist and a minus-2 rating. Despite his limited playing time, Wahlstrom’s removal from the roster is still seen as a surprise move by many in the hockey world.
The Bruins’ decision to remove Wahlstrom from waivers opens up a roster spot for another player, and speculation is already rampant about who might be called up from the team’s AHL affiliate in Providence.
As for Wahlstrom, his future in the NHL is uncertain, but he is expected to be claimed by another team off waivers in the coming days.
The Bruins, meanwhile, will look to regroup and refocus as they head into a busy stretch of games leading up to the Christmas break.
In related news, the Bruins have recalled forward Jakub Lauko from the Providence Bruins, and he is expected to make his season debut with the team on Friday night against the Buffalo Sabres.
