Wahlstrom agreed to his QO price

He did because he wants out. The low AAV means more teams can trade for him or he plays the season out and takes the isles to arbitration.

We have 3 more years of control. I'd love nothing more than for him to have a successful season and push us to a higher number in arbitration.

I'm not entirely sure if him wanting out is truth or just rumor, but Lou will be in no rush to move IMO unless he can get another solid young player in return

Lou usually tries to move on from players who want out, unless they are young enough to be buried in the minors.

I could see a team like Colorado or Tampa trading for him

Colorado and TB have nothing to offer the isles.

And we still don’t know for sure Olly wants out
