If you want to talk facts, then you should mention that Walman has never had trade value. Every team that ditch him, ditch him with assets. As I pointed out earlier, look what Blues gave up to get rid of him off the team.
Hell, Grier had to be enticed to take him with a 2nd rounder.
That's his version of the story. He was healthy scratched in Detroit when they needed him most. Coach and management apparently didn't want him. I read speculation the team didn't even want him around. Blues also didn't want him around.
That's not "cope" for getting rid of him... that is the FACTS that he's had no value wherever he goes and is always healthy scratched (I don't know if Blues healthied him), but they certainly wanted him gone, and gave up valuable assets to make it happen.
Review Walman's NHL career timeline. Where there's smoke, there's fire!
Just because he can put up points doesn't mean he gets a free pass. We as fans don't get the privy to know about. We can put together a damaging timeline of his NHL existence. It'll be interesting to see how his SJ career pans out. I'll fo sho be keeping an eye on it.
