Re: Harvard Crimson 2017-2018
I know that in an earlier post I said 'goodbye' for the summer but I couldn't resist posting this tidbit on Oliver Wahlstrom. On Saturday night, the NHL held their lottery for who picks 1 to 15. They broke it up into 15 to 5 and then 4 to 1. After they finished the ordering of 15 to 5, they put up a list of the top ten prospects and Wahlstrom was right there at #6. If that is the case, then he is definitely one and done. Someone drafted that high up isn't going to make the team holding his NHL rights happy by going to school for four years. Or even two for that matter. I doubt he stays in school beyond his freshman year and that makes me feel a bit better about his not coming to Harvard. We've had enough of the one and ones.
The team will be just fine. A few incoming recruits received USHL honors today:
