Yes, Walman got hurt, and was not able to get back to himself at the end of the season recovering from an injury, and Detroit did not have the breathing room to play an injured player.Again, Simon Edvinsson took his spot in the lineup at the end of the season when the Red Wings were fighting for a playoff spot. Walman finished the season sitting in the press box and then Detroit needed to offer up a 2nd to move a guy on short term contract at a very reasonable cap hit.
And again, as evidenced by the quality of competition. Edvinsson did not step into walmans spot. He stepped into a much easier role, and the tougher minutes were distributed to other players, making each of their lives harder. Also evidenced by the fact that Seider-Edvinsson played 12 minutes together.
