At age 20, is Oliver Wahlstrom finally ready to have a breakout season for the New York Islanders? We investigate the likelihood of that happening.

In 2018 the Islanders got lucky as they had two picks in the first round and had Oliver Wahlstrom and Noah Dobson fall in their lap. Dobson so far has had more NHL experience to date, and is expected to play a regular role this upcoming year on the blue line.
