Is he any good?

 

[Wreckus]

Looking at his stats in SJ this year, pretty good for being -1 on that team.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Did HF crash from a walman trade?

 

[CROTT]

See he is a LHD, can he play both sides? Don’t know too much about him.

Also any retention? And at 3.4 million cap hit does this mean Kane will be out till the playoffs?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I like this move, I like this player

 

[Jumptheshark]

So lets see. Grier who has been maligned for awhile. Gets Welman and a 2nd from the wings just to take Welman contract. So Grier gets a 1st and a 2nd for basically nothing

I was wondering the same thing.

Has some offence in his game though.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Mike Grier turning future considerations into 1st rounders is quite something.

 

[Jumptheshark]

I like this move, I like this player

curious to know what player we are moving out? Kingburg and Kulak?

If this chat board were an NHL
Player it would be…Evan Bouchard.

Lots of potential but gets worse the longer it’s in operation. Upgrades only make it worse.

"Jake Walman, acquired by EDM, is an offensive defenceman. Has a big point shot and loves to use it. Good puck mover with a nice stretch pass. Can be a bit turnover prone, not particularly physical. Has had an impressive season all things considered as SJ's #1."

That's literally Bouchard lol

Yzerman shit the bed with the initial trade.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Guarantees kulak plays with Nurse.

 

[Soli]

I don't know if Walman can play RD, but I'd move Kulak over.

Walman - Kulak
Nurse - Emberson

or

Nurse - Kulak
Walman - Emberson

 

[Soli]

 

[Jumptheshark]

No problem with the trade. But this trade does not helps us in out own zone

 

[Snipesaitl]

 

[WhiskeyEE]

Guarantees kulak plays with Nurse.

Wasn't the objective to find a partner for Nurse? They'd spend 3.4M on a 3rd pair D?

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Yzerman shit the bed with the initial trade.

Yzerplan in all its glory.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

curious to know what player we are moving out? Kingburg and Kulak?

They aren't moving anyone I don't think, certainly not Kulak

 

[Dazed and Confused]

I don't know if Walman can play RD, but I'd move Kulak over.

Walman - Kulak
Nurse - Emberson

or

Nurse - Kulak
Walman - Emberson

He'll get a look with Nurse, but I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up with Bouchard

Nurse-Kulak
Walman-Bouchard
Ekholm-Emberson

Let's you put Nurse with Kulak, and gives Ekholm and Bouchard better skating partners.

 

[Trafalgar Sadge Law]

Helluva a player. Putting up good numbers both analytically and traditional stats wise on an abysmal San Jose team, did well most years in Detroit, and even has another year on his deal after this. As long as the price isn't something stupid like 2 1sts he's worth it. I wonder if talks around this started with that yucky Mario Ferraro rumour lol. Now just get a goalie and I'll be happy with the deadline.

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

Hey a trade
