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

[Gil Gunderson]

Detroit, do you want Chychrun?

 

[Hawkaholic]

On ice issues after he scores each goal

Yzerman doesnt like fun

 

[PajamaBoy]

Yzerman obviously getting ready to do something serious

Re-signing Seider and then Raymond is the priority.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Isn't this the idiot who does the gritty when he scores, or is that someone else ?

 

[WaW]

What the actual f*** is going on here. Walman could a legit top 4 dman for any team in the league, this simply doesn't make sense without any further upcoming context.

 

[LongWayDown37]

Wow that seems like a steep price to pay to shed a $3.4M cap hit for 2 years on a not terrible player... Doesn't seem great for my hopes of getting Skinner off the Sabres books.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

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...

He said those were good teams.

Detroit isn't good, but he didn't mention LA...

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

There was a lot of smoke that there was something strange with Walman being scratched down the stretch. Most thought it was injury related causing a fall off in play. This sort of points towards larger issues that were swirling in my opinion.

 

[seafoam]

Something is up.

 

[dgibb10]

Re-signing Seider and then Raymond is the priority.

Surely there was another, much much worse dman on Detroit making about 400k less than Walman who also had 2 years left on his deal

 

[norrisnick]

I'm so f***ing confused. I'd be confused if the 2nd rounder were going through other way...


Only thing I can think of is SJ is picking 14th right in front of the Wings and they want some say.

 

[Aussie91]

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

Yzerman just shed 3.4 mil off the books and not taking back any cap hit. he paid to do so, but this leaves extra money for signing one of if not multiple, kane, perron, ghost. This also gives simon edvinsson the chance this year for top 4 action

 

[StreetHawk]

Yzerman obviously getting ready to do something serious

Cleared $3.4 mill for 2 seasons. Have to pay Raymond and seider, but they had enough to cover that.

 

[Dr Quincy]

Grier showing Donny Sweeney how to handle a team that wants to dump cap on you.

Just showing once again that BU > Harvard.

 

[Realgud]

What in the hell

 

[LOFIN]

I mean it's fairly obvious that Detroit has something else cooking. Here's a wild thought: the Rangers are sending something good to Detroit and this was their payment to Sharks for taking on Goodrow.

 

[MTU34]

Unless there’s something going on behind the scenes here, this is the most dumbfounded I’ve been by a trade in a long time.

There’s just no way Walman is a cap dump

 

[Baaaaaaaaaaaaah]

This better be for something bigger

 

[Sombastate]

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

Oh eventually he's gonna be too good to deny. But 6 guys currently on the roster, still have to re-sign Thrun, so 7. Mukh proved to be probably their best defenseman in the 3 games he played, never saw the ice again.

Eventually something has to give

 

[izlez]

Isn't this the idiot who does the gritty when he scores, or is that someone else ?

To be clear, he doesn't do it when he scores. He does it when he scores game winning goals in OT.

 

[Satan]

Very classy of the Wings to wait until the Cup was lifted

 

[hamzarocks]

Did he f*** yzermans wife?

How did he go from a solid #4/5D who makes nothing crazy to needing a 2nd added to get bacj future considerations

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Did Chuck Fletcher and Steve Yzerman have a Freaky Friday moment or something?

Cause this is like Chuck Fletcher is in charge of Wings suddenly

 

[Clint Eastwood]

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

Reminds me when Vrana was put on waivers and then traded for a 7th then was later revealed he had substance abuse problems.

I feel like there's something to this that the public isn't aware of yet.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

To be clear, he doesn't do it when he scores. He does it when he scores game winning goals in OT.

Either way, probably why he's worthless. The cringiness is just too much.
