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

[Sombastate]

San Jose will do anything besides give Mukh NHL experience.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

Something is very, very off about this. Off ice issues?

Danced himself straight to the worst team in the league.

 

[izlez]

WHAT

 

[thefutures]

Real dominos

 

[Canadienna]

He averaged almost 20 mins a game for them last year.

I don't know much about the player, but was he really bad enough to warrant dumping his 3.4m?

 

[Regal]

Definitely something else going on because there’s no way there’s a 2nd round pick moving cost on him.

 

[HarrisonFord]

Yzerman clearing space for something big I guess

Raymond and Seider extensions?

 

[Gurglesons]

This makes absolutely no sense to me.

 

[ccman68]

most confusing trade i've seen in my life? even if they have some huge trade coming why not dump holl instead?

 

[BKarchitect]

Ummmm…Walman wasn’t even close to a cap dump as far as I was concerned. What am I missing…

 

[DearDiary]

Something is very, very off about this. Off ice issues?

On ice issues after he scores each goal

 

[Soundgarden]

San Jose cleaning up this offseason.

 

[dgibb10]

Holy SJS fleece. Is Yzerman dumb?

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Seems like a good pickup for San Jose

 

[Empoleon8771]

That Walman deal is bizarre because Wings fans were insistent that Walman was a good player for them. Really bizarre trade to move him for negative value like this.

I would have legitimately traded positive value for him to be on the Penguins 2nd pair. Really bizarre move here.

Mukh is gonna get time. There's nothing but literal bodies keeping from the lineup.

 

[CalderSchmalder]

Why did Detroit make this trade?

 

[GKJ]

Yzerman obviously getting ready to do something serious

 

[Stealth JD]

LOL
Nice move San Jose.

 

[LeProspector]

What’s going on? Walman is far from a cap dump…

 

[BKarchitect]

I thought this said “2nd rounder for Walman” at first and was like…yeah…ok seems right. Solid player with limitations but plays scrappy and can log minutes, Detroit trying to clear a blueline logjam and get a solid pick for him…”

And then I re-read it…

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Huh?

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

What a strange trade and since Yzerman is a vault in terms of info, we'll probably never know the real reason.

 

[LuLover96]

They need to re-sign Raymond and Seider, and it just so happens that Elliotte was saying some mystery teams would be in on Guentzel if they could clear cap...

 

[Magic Man]

Grier is cooking.
