Confirmed Trade: [SJS/DET] Jake Walman and 2024 2nd round pick for future considerations

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Is this one of the weird ones where future considerations actually become something and another shoe is dropping?

It just doesn't make any sense otherwsie. Neither Wallman, not his contract are bad enoght to sacrifice a 2nd to dump

That's what I wondered. If it would be a rare time "future considerations" actually turned into a future consideration and not just something they say that's kinder than "traded for a bag of pucks."

 

[MMC]

I don't understand why any team would trade a player with an asset attached without putting them on waivers first

Walman was absent from the Wings lineup down the stretch for unknown reasons. This trade may be because of something we don't know about.

 

[RedHawkDown]

This is so random

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

This and the Gibson trade are absolute head scratchers, unless Yzerman has some masterclass in trading and free agency planned it looks like he's lost the plot.

What the seeet loving shit is this!?!?!

Our 2nd best D on a good contract and we PAY a 2nd to get rid of him???

Wholly hell I’m about to lose a lot of faith in Yzerman

 

[FlyguyOX]

Would Detroit have any interest in Konecny?

Everyone should, but who would flyers have interest in is the question? Wings don't have a high pick

 

[Reaper45]

Yzerman clearing space for something big I guess

Matt Roy.

 

[swiftwin]

Bahahahaha, this is amazing

 

[ShelbyZ]

Waiting for an insider to report that Yzerman is negotiating with a former Lightning forward.

Then on July 1st they sign Tyler Johnson.

A team acquiring TK isn’t going to be a rebuilding team but a team gearing up so probably no high draft pick although Ottawa and Buffalo should be interested. Detroit is drafting 15th overall so not exactly a low 1st. My basis for a TK trade would be 1st and high end prospect and adjust accordingly. I’d do something like Danielson and 2024 1st, or even 2025 1st. Maybe Kasper and one of those 1sts? Not sure how Wings fans would feel

Trade for Trouba please..

Wtf, i thought he was good

 

[Roshi]

Yeah, the timing is weird. Even if Wings are looking to make a big move or two, theres ways to navigate through it. Why not atleast try the waivers first.

Speculating (always bad to speculate) out two possible options;

1) Walman has off ice issues,

that are public to other GMs around the league. Thats why he could have negative value. If not, you’d think someone would take him for free..

Yzerman might have went through a similar situation as opposite side with Mantha trade, that seemed like overpayment from Caps. I believe Vranas issues were known at the time and thats why Caps had to include so much in the trade.

Or

2) This time the future considerations are not just words on paper, but actual future actions.

Like Sharks taking on some other bad contract later on from Wings (Husso, Holl?). Waiting for signing bonuses to be paid first or something like that?
—

It could of course also be just that Yzerman really wanted to get rid of Walman (bad chemistry or whatever?) and didnt have taker, or they are brewing a big money trade and wanted to have the cap space in use TODAY.

But just dont get the timing. They have over 30 mills of cap space in their hands. They can hold up the Raymond and Seider contracts a bit longer to get everything sorted, whatever they are going for. There was time to go through waivers, or look for a better deal.?

 

[DiglettDangles]

Can someone explain this trade to me like I am 5 years old?

I have no clue what's going on with this dump, but next offseason you'll be 6.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

They are up to something

Any examples of this since the 05 lockout? I feel like it was more of an actual thing back in the day

Walman was absent from the Wings lineup down the stretch for unknown reasons. This trade may be because of something we don't know about.

If it’s not that, then this trade makes absolutely no sense.
Walman was a good top 4D and paid accurately to reflect that.

I can’t see how he was viewed as a cap dump

Mike Grier asked Dean Winchester about his best hoodoo and used it on Stevie Y.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

I mean I would assume one of the considerations bare minimum is we are getting to swap our first round pick or at least protect our pick from being selected in front of us by San Jose.

Even with the strange end to the season surrounding Walman, I do think the future considerations are more than the usual throw away here.

 

[Forge]

Pagnotta, so probably not right, but could be

 

[SirloinUB]

Over the last two season only 22 dmen have more goals. On a per game basis about 15 dmen have more goals.


I’m really baffled that Detroit had to pay a 2nd to move this guy.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Trade for Trouba please..

I honestly wouldn't be mad at that. Detroit needs a 2nd pair RD more than they need Walman doing the griddy.

 

[KingsHockey24]

AHhahaah Detroit fumble.

Trouba for Copp??
