I’m thinking there’s 3 options.
1: The wings are gearing up for a monster free agency
2. There’s some serious drama surrounding Walman we haven’t heard yet
3. There’s another massive trade cooking
I’m still not happy no matter what but there’s definitely more we’re soon to find out
I'm going with #2. It's not like when the Rangers shipped out Staal and a 2nd rounder to get rid of his 5 million cap hit. Yeah, something up with Jake....
We were all up in arms when he sent Varanna packing for nothing in return, I'll wait and see.
I’m going with none of them. Yzerman has so many unmovable contracts and these was the only way to get rid of salary cap space. Yzerman did this to himself
Gear up for monster free agency in the weakest free agent crop in years?
Sounds like a plan, I guess...
@@edwardsmith6609 That's not possible as San Jose wouldn't know about what had happened if we didn't know. I think Steve might have a couple loose screws because as a Canucks fan I would think we fleeced Detroit if we traded a second round pick for walman.
the griddy was unacceptable is what I understand
Yes, a grown man doing the "gritty" at work is always unacceptable
lol it’s literally a goal celebration who the hell cares
@@yoholmes273sports are for entertainment. Celebrating scoring is entertainment.
@@Something7348 It's not a goal celebration on his new team. Those will be referred to as Celebrini-ations from here on out.
There is just the slightest chance that Yzerman knows more about hockey and the Red Wings in particular than any of us. Don’t forget that Yzerman is the architect of what became a two time championship team in Tampa.
That’s cool, he still has yet to make the playoffs with this wings team. Also signed some terrible contracts and just gave away a second and walman to make cap space.. that he doesn’t have cause he signed Justin holl and Ben chiarot LOL
Yzerman is overrated and the wings are just going backwards
@@Cup_in_6we’re going make the playoffs trust the yzerman plan
Yeah and he's also the guy that signed Chiarot, Copp, Holl and traded for Petry. Personally i wanted none of those players let alone overpay them. I wanted Zadorov but he signed Chiarot to an overpay. I wanted Trocheck but he overpaid a 3rd line center in Copp. I wanted Gudas or Schenn but he overpaid Holl. I didn't want Petry at all even at what the Wings are paying him.
He better have a lot planned to get rid of Holl and Petry and bring in some real defensemen that can actually help the team not sink it and waste cap space. Yzerman has made some good moves but he's also made some very bad ones too.
What he did in Tampa, a one time success, means nothing to his performance as a Wings GM.
@@Cup_in_6 Someone had to say it. Yzerman walks on water in Detroit, according to Wings fans and media. To question him is blasphemous.
As a fellow Wings fan, I was shocked at this move. I thought Walman was a great player for us on the defensive side. It sucks that they let him go, but I can see the reason. Yzerman wants to clear some cap space to lock Raymond and Seider. Those 2 are our franchise players, and we need them going forward. With the Jake Walman trade, it save us over 6 million in cap. And I think Edvinsson will be in the majors this year. So now the question is, who do we sign after we lock Lucas and Moritz?
Marty Necas, and Saros
has to be to open space for kaner
Nah he is way to old he is gonna falloff in 1,2 years it is to resign Shayne and mo
OhNyquist video drops: oh, cool, dude is pretty level headed and analytical, this will be a good video.
OhNyquist is somewhat alienated: 😮 ooooooooohhhhh boy here we go
They’re planning for free agency but that’s dangerous as the Wings can always get spurned, Hockeytown isn’t what it used to be.
Yzerman is probably gone if the Wings fall back to 85 PTS, and are the new 2010’s Canes.
As a Ranger fan, people forget Goodrow had a No Movement Clause also in his deal and had the Sharks on his no trade list, which is why Drury had to waive him and let the Sharks claim him for free. Walman definitely isn’t worth more
They traded Mr.Griddy himself 😢
As a sharks fan thank you come again
This would make sense if it was Justin Holl. Not Walman
WHAT?!? Question the Yzerplan??? HOW DARE YOU!
Same he is cooking
idk man, it feels like Tampa became contender way faster while Detroit still struggles to get the playoffs spot… I start losing my faith into Yzerplan
how do you determine a players value?
Look around the league at other deals for comparable players.
The Wings have several D men on the Griffins that have way more upside than Walman, and they don't do the griddy Really, some younger fans may have got a kick out of that but I didn't. I suspect Yzerman didn't either. Yeah Jake Walman had a nice one timer but Antti Tuomisto has a wicked one timer as well. Won't miss Walman.
Unless a huge trade or something along those lines is in the works this might go down as the dumbest move Yzerman has made so far as gm
Walman was not great last year let's face it. I'll take Simon in his place
My Sharks are back baby!!!! Cupbound
LFG
Yzerman better be cooking up a 5-star meal after trading away one of the better D we have and a guy who plays hard every night.
Yzerman is cooking, overcooking but still cooking
Everyone criticizing yzerman over small trades involving depth level players are gonna look stupid in 3-4 years when the wings are competing for cups.
kane money and a spot opens for Ed.
Wish we had at least got Nico strum in return
I wonder if Walman has something going on behind closed doors that the public isn’t aware of. Really weird trade
Following his OT winner against Montreal back in december, he pulled out a dance, which according to David Perron, was received with mixed reaction in the team's locker room. That's what he said in a french interview with TVA Sports back then.
his dumb celly got him dropped 😂
Yzermam better have something insane up his sleeve...
Up the sleeve, up the keister. Up the idk where you put it up.
I’m in shock after this Stanley cup final. Now this xD
Wdym up his sleeve? There is probably about 20 teams that would want to take walman and would happily give a second round pick for him. A guy who is worth a high second and a 53rd overall for a highfive?? I think this makes history as the worst trade ever.
Or he is just washed😂
Yeah a bag of drugs
He doesn’t
as a Sharks fan, we needed puck moving Dman. We were expecting to take very bad contract, or overpay in free agency for that. I guess we got one, for more than free. Thank you Yzerman. We might actually be able to draft a goalie this year with the pick as well (if it stays as is)
We are so up
eemil vinni or ilya nabokov
@@BarDownBrendan Leenders, George and Vinni are my top 3 (in no particular order). Both Nabokov and Yegorov are 2nd tier for me
Well I’m a wings fan 😢😢😢
@@RyanDallo I hope y'all get the big splash everyone are talking about 😊
"Moritz Seider's back may break trying to carry that blue line next season." May be one of the best quotes I've heard on the channel yet 😅
Why didn't Detroit keep Hronek?
You're easily entertained
@@ryansmith3361 He wanted to be paid what he wasn't worth, easy to get rid of and replace with ASP for the 25-26 season
@@ryansmith3361 $$$, Hronek dropped off in the second half of the season and was the perfect trade to Vancouver, I'm happy he got paid but also glad that Detroit isn't the one flipping the bill.
@@JaredLS10As a Canucks fan, I’m both glad he gets paid and I’m glad he developed the chemistry with Hughes that got him the big bucks. Hronek might be overpaid, but together the pairing is worth the collective AAVs.
This caught me off-guard, they must have something planned
Matt Roy
Or maybe Yzerman just isn’t that great of a GM
@@cbjm36what a brainless conclusion
Justin Holl once again survives the impossible
Petry also
If you had to include a 2nd to get rid of Walman, it would have taken 2 1sts to get rid of Holl.
That ten team NTC is stopping Yzerman from shipping him off.
Im with you. Completely baffled he had to add a 2nd to get rid of Walmans contract. This not only hurts on the ice but off the ice too.
If this move is to keep ghost, its still bad because he cant defend and Mo isnt going to get PP time.
One or more of Holl, Petry, Chiarot and Maata must go before the start of next season.
Holl if not traded will likely be a buy out.
we dont need a late 2nd round pick
@@jonnyasava9992 we need it more than mr. future considerations
My thoughts? Indifference. Walman was great for about half the year, then kinda fell off into an abyss as we hit the stretch, and a legendary collapse.
The only thing that gets me is, why future considerations? Unless we're gearing up to make a trade for a serious player, and those "considerations" is using SJ's cap space to eat salary so we can fit them in, it wasn't worth giving up Walman and a 2nd. Stevie has a bit of a history of playing 4D chess, so let's hope this particular move he just made pans out for us.
A draft pick in a deal like that usually means it's a sweetener or an incentive for the other team to take on that deal. While the Wings get "future considerations," the league allows that to happen as long as what the Wings get back is all legal within the parameters of the CBA. Who knows: maybe the future considerations coming back to the Wings benefits them more than we could ever imagine. Speculation, of course.
Just curious what moves would you consider 4D chess. Steve’s been here since 2019. In that time multiple franchises that have executed full rebuilds and made the playoffs while the wings keep kicking the can down the road.
@@lesevesel2898 I'm wondering if the future considerations are "if X player is there at 14, don't select him and leave him for us at 15."
Yzerman wanted the cap/roster space. That is why "future considerations", same reason why Detroit got a 2nd to take Staal.
That's my guess. As it is the Wings have 7D earmarked for Detroit and 6D in GR.
@@garthd7145 If he wanted to make a cap dump why not Holl, Petry or Chiarot? I´m sure SJ would have taken one of those guys and 2nd rounder, maybe additional 4th rounder too. They took Goodrow´s contract from the waivers. No problem taking guy like Petry who's contract is gonna expire after the season anyway. Why Walman, I just don't understand. There has to be another trade coming in which SJ is gonna take some cap or it has to do something with the draft like the other dude was saying.
Idk what Steve is doing? Is he losing his mind
Buying his way out of off-season blunders. Hopefully Justin Holl is next. Not the Stevie Y with a Lightning roster in front of him to boost with minimal additions. That Gibson deal was horrendous... he'll be better than whatever they get with the 2nd. Other guys looks like a struggle in his Jr. League.
Dont get rid of your 5,6, or 7th best defenseman. Get rid if your 3rd best
This trade makes zero sense. Either a big trade is coming or Walman needs surgery. I bet half the teams would take Walman by himself and his contract for future considerations. The fact they needed to add a pick is what really confuses me.
Cap dump to resign are players like mi and Shayne
as a sharks fan, i see this as an absolute win
What are you talking about you lost a superstar player in future considerations, he’s so good that every team wants him
As you should.
Big win.
Yeah no shit lol
Agreed Dustyy_nhl, this was a good move. Makes up for Grier's boneheaded move to take on Barclay's inflated contract. (I like Barclay, very good 4th liners). The Rangers were likely to buy him out. Can't imagine any other team was going to claim him off waivers. Grier bailed out the Rangers big time.
It was a move that had to be done if we want to resign Kane. Probably didnt need to attach a 2nd round pick with it... but goes to show the time crunch he was in to get it done before July 1. If the team had issues with Walman and no urgency to sign someone they could have just waived him unconditionally on July 1 like Yamamoto or Zadina. Side note, it silently speaks to how much Seider and Raymond want to get paid... We have 12/23 players signed right now. 32.7 million in cap space. Reports suggest 6-8m each, I think thats low because of this move. They are most likely asking for 9-10 each with the salary going up. Yzerman will probably end up settling around 8.7 each like Larkin. 32.7 goes down to 15.3 real quick. Call up Edvinsson and Johannsson = 13.49 in cap space. Kane probably gets a deal in the neighborhood of 3 years 15 mil before the draft. Cap goes down to 8.49 with 17/23 signed. With the slim chance we want to steal away a player like Stamkos from Tampa... We are going to have to offer him north of 6 million a season. Which means we are going to have to dump Fabbri(4m) too like Walman. 12.49 after getting rid of Fabbri. Theoretically, we get Stamkos for 3 years 19.5-22.5. Cap room is 5~6m with 17/23 players signed. Berggren and Veleno need new deals and the lowest number of players we can have on a roster is 20/23. So either someone else gets called up like Soderblom or Mazur or we sign another 1 to 2 mid players with what's left.
He only has to do this because his FA acquisitions have been so garbage. 3.4 mill for 3 years to Holl who only plays 11 games and we have to give up a young solid D man that actually plays in games. So thrilled to have Holl on the team instead of Walman AND A SECOND ROUND DRAFT PICK.
He's getting ready to make a splash, that's what. A big forward makes sense, and potentially a cap dump from the sending team. Marner? Maybe a UFA forward like Guentzel? Big priced dman? Big goalie trade like Saros? I'm excited to see where this one goes.
That’s what I’m thinking
Maybe, but Stevie’s track record signing UFAs the last few years is not good. I’m concerned lol
Im sure you could have EASILY gotten rid of Maatas contract with a 2nd attached to it. Walman just makes no sense.
@@OhNyquist he’s probably gearing up to sign Dakota Joshua to a 8x8 deal 😂
@@xRyeBredxMaata is a better player than Walman. His play went downhill 23/24.
Ben Chiarot is not a bad contract. Dude was our second best defenseman this year.
Didn't really want to lose Walman like this though...
BC takes more heat than he deserves, because everyone looks @ him and thinks WTF isnt he a superstar
Not worried about Chairot.
Copp's contract is not good for that amount of coin for a 2C not lighting it up.
Don't see how anyone justifies this trade, no way they needed to do that, that cap hit was way too short and too low to force a 2nd for the trade
He found a home in detroit. he settled down, he wanted to stay. he loved the city and the team. and we just throw him to the streets like he didnt even exist. and he doesnt even get to play on a good team. he has to play for the sharks now. Yzerman better be planning something
The Sharks beat the Red Wings last season in Detroit. Kostin played a lot better on the sharks than as a Wing. I saw a video Walman seemed to really like being a Wing.
Hopefully that 3 mill or whatever is some massive thing to help you.
ya it was a griddy move
It jus biness
Playing in SJ is about to become a marquee destination. Celebrini, Smith, Musty, Bystedt, Halttunen... This is going to be a sick team in a 1-2 years.
The Sharks won't be bad for too long with all the young talent they're stockpiling
I'm gonna be honest I'm sick of hearing people hype up walman the dude is a sieve on the blueline and does not put up the points to justify it
I like Walman, sad to see him go like this.
He will fired at the end of season when we miss the playoffs again
There are concerns moving him. He didn't play much at all over the last weeks of the year. Something had to have happened.
But!
Walman was electric. Minimum for locker room presence you keep him around. Was he out top D? Technically. On any other roster he's bottom pairing. But Future considerations????
Can hope they have something planned. Otherwise Yzerman will have this look bad on him all season long
What the F? He was one of the best defenders on a not so stacked blueline. I do not like this.
Isn’t a premium skating, puck moving, 2 way, first pairing defenseman with a cannon for a shot, why you draft defensemen in the first place? 3.4 million seems to be “on the cheap”, as well. WTaF?
Dayuuum san jose are making good looking move right now coming off that disastrous year might become a sharks supporter lol
As a Sharks fan, idk why Stevie made this trade, dude has to be cooking something up.
I can Guerentee you we move Ferraro and 2 of the second picks for a late round 1st pick
@@juliovillalobos2559 I can guarantee that won't happen. The asking price on Ferraro is a first and a good prospect, they're not going to throw in two seconds and skip the prospect just to get a late first. He might not quite get what he's looking for, but even if you assume the two seconds are the later two (42 and 53), those are worth a late first on their own (right around pick 30). If you go with 33 and 42 it'd be about pick 22 or 23. If you do 33 and 53 it's about pick 25.
FUN FACT- The Yzer-plan STINKS
Stupid. Insanely stupid. Trading him for nothing is stupid no matter how you look at it. Holl, Chiarat, Petry, and Maatta all need to go. If they're still on the roster next season, we can kiss the playoffs goodbye and then I'll be calling for Yzerman's job.
It is a contract dump though I do agree that holl NEEDS to go he is horrible
Stop panicking. The season isn't starting tomorrow. They still have Seider, Edvinson Maitta and Chairiot. They have other young defensive prospects. Other trades are possible. Free agent signings are possible. Wait and see.
Here we go a fan like me that believes in the yzerman plan
3.4 mil moved, stevie up to something?
He’s try to either clear cap space for our free agents including Raymond and seider and make room for edvidsson and Johansson,or big purchases or a big trade is coming that we don’t know of yet is coming.quit freaking out everyone and wake up you should know everything a GM does is for a reason if their was no reason then he wouldn’t of traded walman so he’s obviously not stupid like a lot of redwings fans think he is
Trust the yzerman plan
If you get a 3rd or even late 2nd for Walman. That’s fine! But this is insane! A team like Devils could have picked up Walman no? Or a team like Flames etc.
Great deal for Sharks at least!
Cap dump trust yzerman plan, we need holl out though
steve yzerman is so overrated. YzErPlAn lol the dude has made terrible move after terrible move. red wings are going nowhere with this dude as gm. yzerman is terrible
He drafted mo one of the best d in the league and he set up Tampa to win 3 cups he is one of the best gm’s
but trust the yzerplan!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Bro this is shaping up to be a nuts offseason, two goalie trades already and three more skater trades as well
I don't trust Yzerman any longer.
Believe
sorry dude. hope ur freeing up space for my captain jacob trouba heheehehe
Yeah it's weird, I don't know what else to say about it other than obviously we are missing a piece of this puzzle. Not a single team wanted Walman for just "future considerations"? Yzerman had to throw in a high second just to get rid of him? Holl would be the more obvious guy to get rid of in a pure cap dump.
Walman gone, but Holl, Petry and Chiarot still here 🤮🤮🤢
Holl needs to go
This one hurts. Griddy was cringy but I still loved Wally.
Guys relax, we have edvinsson and Johansson coming up. Our left side will be chariot, edvinsson, and Johansson. Chariot was much better this year than his first year. Matta might be shipped too or might be a 7th defence man. Or we might gain a new player. It’s too early to panic.
Trust the yzerman plan we will make the playoffs
Why in the blazes would you trade walman
Yzerman remains the most overrated GM in the league
No trust in the yzerman plan
I trust Yzerman, I hope he has something planned because I liked Walman
top comment.
i dont trust yzerman overrated GM
@@justinalley3399 I mean, he essentially created a dynasty in Tampa Bay, what’s not to trust.
He didn’t play near seasons end. He’s a 6th dman at best. They’re expecting Simon and perhaps even Albert to play full time in Detroit. It’s not that surprising. Price paid was for sure though.
Cap space to go after Kane and Stamkos. Future consideration to unload Copp (with salary retained conveniently close to what we were paying Walman)
Like you said, this has the makings of a complete overhaul of the D-core. I think there has got to be more moves on the way.
WTF???
Theory - what if Detroit will have the options to swap their #15 pick with the SJ #14 pick if Detroit has a prospect they really like fall to 14. If not, the picks stay with their respective teams, and San Jose accepts a cap dump from Detroit (Holl/Petry)
I could see a scenario where "if X player (MBN, maybe Eiserman) is there at 14, don't pick him." As for Holl/Petry, I think both of them say no to the trade. Petry especially already nixed a trade to San Jose just last year.
@jonmendelson1104 yeah I'd like the case to be Eiserman. Still not worth a 2nd and walman tho :/
San Jose needs him. Wouldn't trade Walman for anything at this point, he will probably also be on PP1 in SJ. Wonder what the future considerations will be. The rights to RFA Emberson would be what I would ask for from DET.
I'm baffled. Like, how did Yzerman have to give up a 2nd to move a player we should have been able to get assets for? Plus, Gibson just had a breakout season in the OHL. He's a right handed dman too. That's the one depth position we don't want to lose players from. Ugh. WTF?? Like, we still have Holl, Petry, and Chiarot. None of the problems are solved.
It’s just a contract dump
@@Colton-cp6vz Expensive contract dump for a top 4 dman who only has an AAV of $3.4 mil.
@@edenisburning yes but it is to resign mo and maybe somebody in free agency
@@Colton-cp6vz They already had money to do that, even after the Mo and Raymond extensions. Plus, they need to buy-out Holl, which will be even more money. I hope it means they're going big, but we'll see.
Cap dumping an effective player.what do you call that? Talent dump? Fkn Christ
So it`s a month after this, free agency is done and i have still no idea what that move was.
I could see a cap dump in Copp, who at 5,625m is a cap grave for 3 more seasons. I could see Holl, Chiarot or Maatta moved. I even could see Husso traded, as his 4,75m cap is kind of an overkill with Talbot, Lyon and Campbell in the mix.
Walman at 3,4m for 2 seasons for sure isn`t a bad deal if you look at the contracts guys like Dumba, Lyubushkin or Skjei signed.
Even if he turns out to be your 4th or 5th D for the 2 years, it`s a good deal for SJS.
DET had nothing coming, so what was that move for?
Hahaha everyone beliving in this yzer bull crap! This is an over confident gm that has nothing in his background to show off. I cant wait to see what crap he scoops up at the draft lolololol. Umm fans this will be a compete rebuild for the 4th time. Thank you haha. Holland says hello from the finals
Bud he set up Tampa to win 2 cups and as a player win the cup he is gonna make us in the playoffs trust in the yzerman plan, if you are a wings fan then you aren’t, yzerman drafted mo who has been one of the best d in the league. Funny that you think he doesn’t have any experience 😂
@Colton-cp6vz ugh how long are we going to hear about tampa?? He was gone and the gm.got better players.. if Tampa won today people here would still credit yzerman lol. I guess Holland is a genius bc he just to the oilers to the finals in less time. Yzerman is on his 4th rebuild of the wings in 5 years. He is a great player but a trash gm. Enjoy 5th place again.
@@theirishman088almost made the playoffs we’re coming
@@Colton-cp6vz almost doesn't cut it. I almost won a billion dollars on the lotto. Guess what it means nothing. Still didn't make it.
Blues moved on from Walkman too. Curious.
The only way this makes sense to me is if Walman does not want to stay or there is some HR stuff going on with him we don't know about - for what he delivered on the ice for 3.4mil your just not going to replace him at that price not to mention he was loved by fans, I just don't see a W out of this move short some off ice drama no one knows about.
Chiarot played better with Seider than Walman did, Maatta is a defensive D and Edvinsson is a massive upgrade as over Walman and $3.4M is too much to be sitting in the pressbox.
And he probably cost less to unload than Justin Holl would/will.
And yes, Barclay Goodrow is undoubtedly more valuable than Jake Walman, who was only ever had value in the eyes of us Wings fans.
Goodrow was overpaid because he was so good on a 2x Cup-winning team whereas Walman was the second-best D on a bad team and then took a big step back almost immediately.
I also think there's a chance that Holl gets bought out and they sign a UFA RHD.
Anywho, weird day, end of rant.
I see a lot of upset Wings fans in the comment section, so I thought I'd give my neutral opinion on these trades.
1) The Wings are essentially trading away Walman and Gibson for Kiiskinen for what is obviously a cap dump. Whether this is a good move or not will depend on what trades/signings that are coming next.
2) A lot of Wings fans seems upset that Walman is the casualty while Chiarot, Holl, Määttä and Petry are still on the roster. And while it's fair to think that one of those guys should have been dumped, please take a minute to think about what assets you would have to attach in that trade. In my opinion, you would have to give up, at the VERY least, a first round pick or the equivalent. In case of trying to move Chiarot or Holl, who both have two years remaining on their contracts, you are probably looking at a 1st and a 3rd or the equivalent.
3) To those who complain about having to attach assets to dump Walman while the New York Rangers got rid of Barclay Goodrow through waivers. Keep in mind that Goodrow allegedly had the San Jose Sharks on his M-NTC trade list. Putting him on waivers was just a way to circumvent his M-NTC.
RHD Jacob Trouba or Rasmus Andersson.....the Red Wings playoff make or break window is nearing and #15 overall pick is not going to help immediately. So this pick may be in jeopardy of being traded soon probably Andersson as the Flames have to pay for Kadri, Huberdeau, and Weegar.
Gibson being a RHD also seems to add clarity to this logjam that is about to happen.
They must have something bigger in plan involving SJ.... Blues should have welcomed this guy back with open arms.. Miles better than Krug IMO!~
They need to sign Seider and Raymond, thats at least $17M AAV combined
and I figure theyd rather get a more defensively responsible Dman this summer like Pesce, SKjei, or OEL, as Walman may have bad defensive analystics stats.
Who built the Tampa Bay Lightning Stanley Cup winning teams Steve Yzerman, who built call medal winning teams at the Olympics, Steve Yzerman, who won Detroit Stanley cups after being the worst team in the NHL when he was drafted don't worry about Steve Yzerman he's nothing but a winner
Lol. I guess you kids don't know that hockey doesn't like dancing. Especially if you're just a slighlty above average player.
My kid loved the gritty. I don't think Yzerman did. 😅
I wonder if the 2nd really is for considerations like "don't flip Wahlman to Toronto or Montreal."
I remember a few years ago that the Pens would work hard to trade guys out of division or conference, and then they'd immediately be flipped to the Capitals, Canes, Blue Jackets, etc.
Or when the Sens traded Hoffman to the Sharks and they immediately flipped him to the Panthers.
People are FINALLY seeing how overrated Yzerman is. He got EXTREMELY lucky in Tampa with some of those picks
Given Yzerman's body of work on the ice, and off the ice, I don't think anyone should be question his decisions.
This guy isn't some one-hit-wonder, who got lucky building a team. He knows what he's doing. Relax.
Welcome to the world of NHL Capology! I liked Walman, especially his goal celebration, but let's be real , what defensemen has more goals than assists? Yzerman has a lot of work to do with the defensemen. We really need a physical presence(at forward as well).
Walman sat in the press box at years end. Piss poor effort half the time. Not even what I would call “good” defensively the majority of the time It’s not the cap dump we wanted or expected. This I understand.
That being said, this has to be a precursor to something/s big on horizon. If it ends up just getting us the extra $ to re-sign Gost I will be very disappointed.
The team has gotten better every year now for 5 years. Trust the process.
Sum of all things considered Yzerman has been bad. Quite a few whiffed picks, a bunch of wasted salary space with bloated contracts or buy outs, now panicking to remedy the corner we put ourselves in.
Kostin and Walman and to a less degree Zadina. Shark Wings or the Red Sharks looking good.
@@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants what is bro yapping about

Walman is a turnover machine. I think Stevie has something cooking but I'm not really sad to see him go. They have enough liabilities back there and I doubt teams are lining up to trade for Petry or Holl. Maata isn't terrible and Chiarot played a lot better in year 2 than he did in year 1 so...Walman it was.
They don't need Ghost AND Walman. Walman was good offensively but a liability defensively. They were a terrible defensive team. Walman was part of the reason why(as were many others.) I assume Steve is trying to create cap space while at the same time trying to get this team better at team defense.
I think Yzerman has a better big picture idea of what is going on, than you do...I don't think Yzerman or anyone...owes you an explanation. Let him do his job.
Jake is my guy.... Maby he's about unravel like Jakub Varana, he was playing good and got offloaded for seeming nothing a while back also.
Surely,given that Walman is decent, a top Dman is being targeted in free agency and they need the cap space and place on the roster to accommodate them. At this point we don't know if others are being traded. Maybe the Wings really did feel Walman's year was a one off. Lets hope this isn't like Hronek who has gone on to improve.
