    wtf? Is this real???

    I guess that’s one way to save cap space. Later, Griddy. Give Zadina a hug for me

  4. petoskey_stone

    This folks, is what we call a move before “the move”.

  5. John-Balaya

    Woah!! I mean we know we needed to free up the left side and some of our cap but this one is not a headline I was expecting on a Tuesday

  6. culturedrobot

    Bro what da fuck.

    Something’s brewing in the D.

  7. BellsBeersy

    WHAT

    Future considerations being facilitating a massive trade with someone else?

  9. SubmissionDenied

    Ok this doesn’t make sense. I get Walman “wasn’t himself” at the end of the season. But a pick to go along with him…

  10. billyguy1

    Future Considerations better have a dynamite griddy

    3.4 mil moved, stevie up to something?

  14. needuhlife19

    We gave away a 2nd to get rid of Walman..?

    Something must have soured for Jake to be worth nothing. And I have to imagine we’re going big for grabbing that cap space.

  16. detsportfan

    Probably was too pricey to move Holl or Chiarot. Don’t think this move is a setup for anything other than retaining our own guys

  18. Own_Flower1947

    I seriously do not understand this trade. I thought walman had some value

  20. The_ManWithNoName

    WTF! we gave away a 2nd to get ride of Walman. I don’t like this at all.

  23. TheAnalogKid18

    Not how I envisioned us getting the Edvinsson – Seider pairing, but ok.

  25. -DonnieDarko-

    Clearing space… for something. Kane money? New FA?

  26. blueberry_muffin16

    Oh I am legit sad about this one

  27. Akavire

    WHAT??????

    Walman is good and cheap. And we threw in a second rounder? wtf?

  28. beardofzetterberg

    So we trade Gibson for the 2nd that we use to sweeten the deal to offload Walman and pick up a prospect? wtf happened between Walman and Y?

    So we give:
    – Gibson
    – Walman

    We get:
    – Kiiskinen
    – Future considerations (bag of pucks)

    ? There must be something we don’t know about Walman that soured him to the point where, not only are we offloading him, not only are we not getting anything for him, but we are PAYING a 2nd to get him off our books.

  31. RickyBobby689

    I’m surprised. If Holl was going too then it would make sense. Not sure why we have to pay to move Walman .

  32. LGRW_Sparty88

    Why did we need to attach a second to move Walman? I am so confused, Stevie specifically targeted him from StL in that trade. I for one will miss you Jake.

  33. MyHandIsAMap

    [Insert Padme and Anakin meme]

    Wings did what everyone wanted and traded a defenseman.

    Holl or Chiarot right?

    IT WAS HOLL OR CHIAROT RIGHT?

  34. The_ManWithNoName

    I feel like someone would have claimed him for free on waivers. He’s a positive asset. Not a cap dumb.

  35. DropkickMurph24

    This hopefully is an instance where “future considerations” may actually be something of value, just isn’t known yet. Right?

    Right?

    Maybe SJ facilitates retention or something on another deal that had to happen separately from this one?

    Otherwise I can’t see how Walman has negative value to 31 teams in this league

  36. Scary-Extent5740

    I must be dumb will someone please explain all this to me.
    First off -you must’ve been high on Gibson if you took him in the second round. Also one of the only prospects with grit . Yet they trade him a year later?

    Second off-why would you want future considerations instead of that second round pick when you’re in a rebuild. They could’ve had two picks in the second round or used one for trade bait. Not to mention threw in one of our best offensive defenseman which we lack.

    So we basically swapped last years second round pick for a redo in this years draft . Then gave away a second round pick and Wallman for a pack of skittles…..

    Please some explain…..you mean to tell me Yzerman got this team in such a cap hell we had to trade wallman and sweeten the pot with a second rounder just to clear cap space???? If so, that’s very bad management

  37. Motown27

    Aww man! I liked Walman. So long Griddy.

    Hopefully we can turn this into something big.

  38. j5242

    The only way this makes sense is if it’s part of a multi-team trade and we aren’t seeing the other sides of the trade reported yet, or if Walman has some undisclosed career ending injury.

    Even if for some reason NHL GMs are much lower on Walman than fans, and you decide you want to move on from Walman, you have to try and see if he gets claimed off waivers before paying an asset to move him, correct?

  39. non_target_eh

    That’s not how you spell Justin Holl

  40. cutyourhair

    If you asked me yesterday, what’s more realistic:

    – Walman and a 2nd as a cap dump for nothing

    Or

    – Walman and a 2nd for a starting goalie or McGroarty

    I would not have thought about it for a second before answering the latter.

  41. SuperGimpDean

    Maybe Kane said he’ll only re-sign if they get rid of Walman because he got in the way when he was trying to yell showtime. That’s all I got. This is BAFFLING.

  42. LGRW_Sparty88

    Saw an interview with him this summer talking about how he hopes he’ll be around a long time to do his charity work in the city and at the time thought it was a no brainer. Just stunned right now, hope it works out for everyone but wow.

  44. CopsPushMongo

    Watch the future consideration turn out to be Zadina after he catches fire (finally) /s

  45. TheDudeInTheD

    The people here that had mistakenly convinced themselves that Walman was anything more than a 3rd pair guy sure are having a hard time with reality today.

    *Does a slow, sad griddy as a single tear falls from face*

  47. pjfong87

    While I am not currently ready to burn it all down to the ground I am sourcing a torch

  48. TheShowPony85

    Man, tough to let go, he had some nice goal production for us, physical player, and blocked a lot of shots. Liked him in the Winged Wheel.
