I can care less what Wahlstrom did in his first 9 games lol. That’s just confirmation bias on your part. I never said Wahlstrom is better than Boeser, i said that Boeser isn’t much better than Wahlstrom right now, which is a a fact. This is going by pts per 60 and underlying metrics.

Who cares about first 9 games, that is always a tryout for most prospects.
Wahlstrom is 5 goals in 8 games in his sophomore season, isles don't care about his first 9 games.

He wants to bring up first nine games but doesn’t want bring up the start of this season (8 games) . Wouldn’t fit the narrative
I bring up the first 9 because it is a common metric to judge rookies. Fine if you want to discount it.
Look at their rookie seasons then. Boesers was miles better. I made an adding error in Wahlstroms but he was actually pacing for 40 points... Boeser was pacing for 40 goals.
Wahlstroms off to a hot start, but there's no way he carries a 51G, 0A pace throughout the whole season.
For P60 stats an 8 game sample size is hardly enough. To illustrate this, per money puck Doughty has a higher pp60 than MacKinnon, as does Max Domi, Brett Leason is higher than Ovi, Luke Schenn is higher than Petterson. None of these will stay the same over the course of a season.
