That high on Wahlburg? Interesting

Yes and deservedly so imo. He has great size, very mature frame for a 17 year old. Put up some points in the SHL and was very good against his age group. He skates really well and is clearly a player focused on improving his game. He could have gone in the mid 20s in the 1st round, it's a steal where we got him and I do think he's right at that A/A- prospect rating.
