My guy typed that out like it was a difficult concept.
He has been. San Jose isn't looking to be competitive next year and apparently want to hang Askarov out to dry.... if they move Walman and Ferraro their only defensemen under contract from teh current roster will be Liljegrin, Desharnais, Thrun with Jack Thopson as a RFA.

I'm not sure Walman is the perfect "type" of defenseman that the Oilers should be chasing. I think his hot start was a bit of a mirage and he's not the most consistent guy decision making and positionally, but he does play hard, and he certainly will sacrifice the body to block a shot.
Here are his season splits:
2024: 31 GP, 25 Pts, +4
2025: 19 GP, 7 Pts, -5
His 2025 is more representative of his career if we are being honest.
All that said...he can munch minutes and provide a genuine top 4 option. At this point, that is still a welcomed addition.
Cost will be interesting - is his value based on the first half of this season or the several years worth of resume that surrounds it?

A 1st round pick for the griddy guy? 
seems like a lot for a marginal upgrade on Kulak

Mike didn’t like the sharks winning two in a row. He’s pulling a full-on Major Leagues on the team.
You trust "PuckEmpire" as a source?A 1st round pick for the griddy guy?

Wording it that way seems strange. Not like they’re trading Kulak to get him.
Masterclass? Masterclass would’ve been getting paid a 2nd to take him in the offseason.
Oilers fans, “no, we said we wanted the team to be more GRITTY!”

Kane earlier said he believes he will be ready april 1st or something. The oilers? They have another date in mind

Absolute huge win for Grier no matter the return.
I still can't believe Detroit paid to get rid of Walman. He's not perfect and like I said, his first 30 games this season is IMO an absolute mirage. But he's still a very useful defenseman.

Can you give a breakdown or scouting report on Walman? I haven't watched him much this year
