Wahlstrom is not a bust and was playing very well this year before he was hurt. Absolutely I reason for the isles to make this trade.

Is Zadina a bust?

They are in the same draft class.

Zadina has 68 points but has played is 29 more games giving him ppg of .36

Wahlstrom has 61 points but played in 29 less games giving him ppg of .38

By no means am I saying The Islanders should accept this. But if you consider one a bust how can consider the other a bust?

I would give Zadina a one last chance. If we can’t see any improvements in the first 20-30 games, trade him.

Wahlstrom has been misused by the Isles and has had some bad luck with injuries. Zadina has been given every opportunity by Detroit. Wahlstrom has one of the best shots in the league. He'll only improve while Zadina will only continue scoring 1 goal a month.

This morning I compared TOI and p60 and Zadina averaging about 3 more minutes a game and his p60 is about half of Wahlstrom's. I don't know why I didn't think of that last night

Wahlstrom isn't a bust. He just needs to stay healthy. I'd be willing to bring on Zadina but not at a high price.

Wahlstrom's game has some flaws but I'll never understand why both Trotz & Lambert buried him - especially down the stretch last year, when the Isles were basically out of the playoff picture pretty early in the year. Wahlstrom averaged 13:21 per night through the ASB last year, and put up a decent 10-8-18 in 36 GP. After the ASB, he saw his TOI cut to 10:48, and surprise! He only put up 3-3-6 over the last 37 GP, and was scoreless over his last 10 GP when he was getting 9:17 per night - a full 83 seconds less each night than Ross friggin' Johnston got in that time frame. You can say a lot of good things about Trotz as the Islanders coach, but that felt like a real kick in the ass on the way out the door.
