Nah. Sharks don’t need Walman the way they needed Goodrow. They’re just happy to have the extra 2nd round pick.San Jose would have picked him up on waivers like they did with goodrow.
It’s really just one big transaction from Detroit’s perspective: swap one prospect for another in order to dump Walman’s contract.Because trading a 2nd rounder for a good player doesn't make any sense, even if you think the team won the trade to acquire the 2nd rounder.
Detroit had other worse players they could've unloaded and RHD come at a premium. It's puzzling and the reaction is not surprising at all.
