A major development has surfaced in the Boston Bruins claiming Oliver Wahlstrom off of waivers.

Today is was announced that multiple players were placed on the waiver wire by NHL insider Elliotte Friedman.

Elliotte Friedman announced that the New York Islanders have placed Engvall and Wahlstrom on waivers, and the Boston Bruins have been linked to Wahlstrom.

From Friedman:

Engvall and Wahlstrom (NYI) on waivers

The Boston Bruins have been struggling this season, and as Bruins Network has stated, Wahlstrom is a 24-year-old prolific scorer, who is a right shot winger. He has a cheap contract at just $1 million and will also be a restricted free agent after his deal runs out. Bruins Network also stated that this is a good player the Boston Bruins should take a chance on due to him being free.

Oliver Wahlstrom, 24, is a former prolific scorer, right-shot winger and local juniors standout. Wahlstrom makes $1m and will remain an RFA upon expiration. Boston is struggling for right-shot depth and this is a player I'd absolutely take a chance on for free IMO. #NHLBruins

There is a waiver wire list that the NHL goes through, and if all teams decide to pass on him when it gets down to the Bruins, the Bruins should 100% claim him. A big bonus is that the Bruins wouldn't have to give up anything to acquire him.

Wahlstrom would be a low-risk, high-reward type of player that could help the Boston Bruins out.
