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

[Mattb124]

Not even a little bit. I think you have to have an agenda with a desperate need for people to hate Yzerman like you do for whatever reason to see this is such. It’s a second round pick to move a guy no one wanted. For all we know he did offer the world the same second round pick for Chiarot but people wanted the offensive guy in Walman. That’s actually not true. The only team in the league that would take Walman and a second was SJ. Everyone else declined. I don’t understand how this is a slam dunk on Yzerman that he had to take one on the chin to move a guy, when no one else in the league wanted the guy. Well played SJ, who just wanted to use their cap space to get extra picks and would take on the things no one else would….and found a good player. He’s incentivized obviously by the move, and good for him for being so. Just don’t suspended by your own team again and it’s a win for everyone.

Ps. He also needed room for the Trouba would be deal.

You got the order of those two sentences wrong.

Hronek isn’t worth his contract and if Walman keeps this up he won’t be worth his next contract either. They also got Sandin-Pellikka from the Hronek trade. Yzerman has made mistakes but these trades aren’t among the more significant ones.

Ah yes, the brilliant strategy of giving away players if they're too good

Terrible trade by SY.

When did Montour break out?

So one player breaks out and that means all are doing it?

He’s been traded three times in two and a half calendar years. I figured it was a given there must be behind the scenes goings on.

Man Vancouver fans still on this that they bring it up in a Walman thread. Good lord.

I mean he's already been scratched for off-ice reasons in SJ. He was healthy scratched down the stretch with Detroit. Rumors were that certain players were not popular and didn't have the right attitude. 1+1+1.

My guess is Walman will not be part of San Jose's roster when they start competing.

Even if you want to think it's only about the on-ice play; Walman was mostly a trainwreck last season.

They do not and will gaslight you until advanced stats prove them right.

While probably true that doesn't really make it any better

Still could’ve gotten rid of him for nothing but chose to pay a 2nd anyway. Either way, it’s a negative for Yzerman. How bad of one is debatable but pretty undeniable that it is one.

Red Wings fans still realize it's an L, right? Just like most Stevie's tenure?

Is he the one that does that embarassing cringe dance or whatever it is as a goal celebration? lol
