Great move!!! Walman can add into our group well and another 2nd this year? More draft capital to make a move. Good job Grier!!

 

[hohosaregood]

wait a free 2nd? i just saw that the Red Wings acquired that 2nd from Nashville too. i don't really get it. doesn't seem like Detroit really needs to clear cap space.

Nice! What's up with Walman --- cap dump?

 

[Pavelski2112]

Increasingly more common Mike Grier W

 

[weastern bias]

Holy shit, this is awesome

I think a cap dump is part of "future considerations"

 

[one2gamble]

what an odd trade

 

[landshark]

Neat!!

The nephew and namesake of former middleweight boxing champion of the world and Jake “Raging Bull” LaMotta would be named OJHL Rookie of the Year, CJHL Top Rookie, and earn the OJHL and CJHL Top Prospect Awards.Dec 11, 2023

Lol, so that made no sense, why did I think Walman was an Islander? Lol

[TheBeard]

He's immeditely our second best defenceman

 

[weastern bias]

So are we either about to add Andrew Copp, or Justin Holl? Lol, it's GOTTA happen, or this makes NO sense for Detroit

 

[Hodge]

Yet another Mike Grier fleece job. What else is new?

 

[OversKy]

Ahaha what?!?!

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Was this a fleecing? Sharks add Defense depth (Not sure how good Walman is, but every little bit helps) and gets another draft pick this year? Well done Mike Grier.

 

[CaptainShark]

Fantastic, someone pinch me…

 

[karltonian]

Head scratcher without the future considerations, so it all hinges on that.

 

[Sendhelplease]

I wonder if one of Detroits NTC contracts will go on waivers and Grier claims the contract to circumvent the NTC. Otherwise this is an absolute fleecing by Grier

 

[tahoesharksfan]

WTF? I'm confused....

 

[STL Shark]

So Ferraro is definitely gone this week then, right?

 

[Dicdonya]

Glad I misread the headline originally, thought we gave up the 2nd for him.

I’ll happily take a second for a couple years worth of cap. We really do need to start trimming the fat on defense though we have way too many bottom 4 types on the team.

 

[ChompChomp]

Oooh I like this move!

 

[cheechoo]

Scrumptious trade by GMMG.

 

[glasgow26]

This makes up for Goodrow and then some. Great job by Grier.

Wonder if this is an indication that Grier plans to trade up from 14…
