’23 Player Grades: Jake Walman, Joe Veleno, Alex Chiasson | Did Walman Earn the Highest Honors?



Jake Walman entered the season injured, with our expectations topping out at middle-pair defensman. He ended the season a bonafide top-pair D-man with a new 3-year extension. Does Walman earn the highest honors? We were hoping to see Joe Veleno take steps forward this year, instead we saw a him struggle as 4C. Alex Chiasson didn’t even have an NHL contract until post-deadline, and he turned into a PP specialist. #lgrw

  1. Here's the chat,
    Casey Czarnomski ​Walman B+, Veleno C- maybe D+, Chiasson B+
    TitleistGuy ​Good evening boys … bert looking like a life long bruin
    TitleistGuy ​Veleno = circa 2008 Valtrrri Fillpula (sp]
    Lyle Knight​ Walman A+ locked down first pair as a throw in. Valeno B-/C+. Chaisson C+, filled a badly needed role as a minor leaguer.
    Casey Czarnomski ​I'm happy for Bert, seems everyone in Detroit couldn't wait to get rid of him. Talking of trading him for years
    TitleistGuy​yea i miss bert, but he looks right at home flying around the ice hair all over, he laid some hits tonight
    Lyle Knight​But would you sign him 7×7? If the answer is no, the trade was the right call. Hopefully boston chokes to improve the pick.
    TitleistGuy​ how is Walman a B+ ….. he was a roster maybe and now a bona fide top pair D? lol … A!
    TitleistGuy​bert 7×7 …. F no. 6@4
    TitleistGuy​ 4-5
    TitleistGuy​ Chaison picked up Rasmussens points approx
    TitleistGuy ​He was an A substitute
    Casey Czarnomski ​If Wallman deserves an A, that means he's Stanly Cup caliber, top line D, which he is not. Not yet. Hopefully next year
    TitleistGuy ​A relative to expectations is
    TitleistGuy ​is how i think theyre doing it
    Lyle Knight​That was the word of his demands. Maybe hell lower this summer, but he looks like a Torey Krug contract.
    TitleistGuy​ 7×7 yikes …. bert cant stay healthy. 7×6
    TitleistGuy ​7×6 seems reasonable
    TitleistGuy​ dont be flustered
    TitleistGuy​ He gets a D for Dan Cleary!
    Casey Czarnomski ​I expected Wallman to be a top 6 D, So I guess I'd have to give him a C then
