The 25-year-old former first-round pick will try to earn an NHL deal after Boston declined to issue a qualifying offer.

Overview

  • San Jose agreed to a professional tryout with Oliver Wahlstrom, a move first reported by David Pagnotta and confirmed by PuckPedia.
  • The AHL Barracuda announced they have signed Wahlstrom to a contract for 2025–26 as a fallback if he does not secure an NHL deal.
