Confirmed with Link: Walman and a 2nd Round Pick traded to SJ

[Reddwit]

When do we trade Dylan Larkin and get the hockey equivalent of Jared Goff?

Not exactly a Jared Goff type, but Elias Petterson would be nice.

I guess I just don’t get this odd attachment to a guy like Walman around here.

After 12/31 last season, he scored a whopping 4 points and was not good at defense for the remainder of the season. Before this year, he had about 50 career points in just about 200 career games. And on top of that, was apparently a locker room issue AND did a stupid dance that I hate because f*** the Minnesota Vikings!

But now that he’s having an anomaly of a season, people want to use that as an excuse to”ah ha! Gotcha!” moment to criticize Yzerman?

We have enough information about Walman by this point to realize he’s having an outside of the mean season for himself. How many times have we seen this from NHL players where they have an awesome season, maybe 2 if they’re lucky, and then regress back to what they’d always been?

You're right. Jake Walman sucks and is a locker room cancer. I can't people are using his statistical anomaly of a year to criticize Yzerman.

On a completely unrelated note, who was it that signed this shitty locker room cancer to a 3 year $10.2 million deal and then had to gift wrap a 2nd round pick to unload the contract a year later so he could free up the cap space to overpay other shitty free agents? Surely the buffoon who did that deserves criticism.

I often think of last year, the passion and fun they had in some of those games. Walman doing his jig a couple times to magical wins - good thing the locker room has been scrubbed of that cancer so we can enjoy the product on the ice this year.

We all had that crazy ex girlfriend; she acted sweet until she got her hooks in ya then turned into the next psycho on SNAPPED.

Walman, despite his amazing play, has already been healthied on a crappy SJS team. He's a ticking time bomb and Grier knows it.
It only cost a 2nd to cure us of cancer, and now we get to sleep good at night without having to keep one eye open on Crazy Sally. Set your DVR, the next episode of SNAPPED will be in California now.

Wait for the "SNAPPED" part. Don't be fooled by the Ville Leino facade.
