Confirmed Trade: [EDM/SJS] Jake Walman for Carl Berglund, 2026 1st round pick

[SEALBound]

He has a 10 team NTC.

Perhaps Edmonton is on there and in order to do it, he must waive?

 

[FinlandPanther]

Oh yeah. Screw the goalie, let’s get a defender who can’t defend Never change Edmonton lmao.

 

[Puikiou]

Surprised by this. He has been incredible for SJ.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Oilers are one of the best teams in the league in suppressing quality chances, and have one of the worst conversion of quality chances.

Great. How is that all translate long term with Skinner?

 

[Taswell]

Exciting for Walman i’d imagine.

 

[ShakenNotStirred]

Walman back to the Red Wings for their 1st.

That would satisfy the future considerations aspect of the OG trade.

 

[PuckFather]

I mean can he play the goalie position?

 

[Static]

Edmonton has to send salary back, no? I'd bet this is for a first rounder.

 

[Grinner]

Hand over Petrov

Oh yeah. Screw the goalie, let’s get a defender who can’t defend Never change Edmonton lmao.

I hate Edmonton. But Walman has been a very reliable defender this year. Not sure about past seasons.

Leafs need a PPQB, Edmonton already has one.

Super jealous.

 

[Sendhelplease]

Wonder if Klim Kostin gets added to the deal. I know he’s done well in Edmonton in the past.

[HockeyVirus]

What are the Oilers doing?

 

[nbwingsfan]

Oh Yzerman, what a blunder that whole thing was.

Walman is great offensively but average on his best days defensively. Doesnt seem like Edmonton needs that kind of player but I guess there aren’t many great D available me this year

 

[Tkachuckycheese]

Wonder if Klim Kostin gets added to the deal. I know he’s done well in Edmonton in the past.

I hope so!

 

[Jargon]

if we got a 2nd to take Walman and then traded him for a 1st I will laugh heartily. I actually really like the guy but boy what a neat bit of business if true.

 

[91Fedorov91]

Dang, Yzerman only got future considerations when he traded Walman to the Sharks.

 

[tomd]

Edmonton's GM should be fired if he gives up a 1st for Walman...especially with no retention.

 

[Cloned]

Gonna laugh if Jeff Skinner is in the deal

 

[Empoleon8771]

Lmao remember when Yzerman traded a 2nd to get out of Walman's deal? Just so San Jose could trade him for a 1st like 8 months later?

Walman is an awesome add for Edmonton, really nice piece to add to their top-4.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Leafs need a PPQB, Edmonton already has one.

Super jealous.

Wby not use Marner, or Nylander ?
