Jake Wlamna is traded to San Jose with a second rounder for nothing and Buschy's brain is in a blender. What does it all mean?

Wow. That’s nuts. I love Walman. I’ll root for him no matter what team he’s on. BUT this exciting.. I’ve been looking forward to big moves, and this looks like it’s the start of them..

At the end of the day it's cap space, the move to get it feels like a bad trade but let's see what the payoff is

@TCOSTA96 Ай бұрын

As a Sharks fan, thanks for Walman. The Wings do have upside and I think this means you guys are going hard for a top player. I could see Guentzel, Kane, Reinhart or maybe a big trade with Carolina for Nechas.

Amen. That's the contract that should have been traded. Not getting anything for Walman is the worst look Yzerman has had so far, barring something coming from 'future considerations'

Red wings are planning on signing somebody...clearly. just let the off-season play out.

Obviously that's the vase. The big problem is attaching a second rounder to what is (in my mind) a positive asset like Walman for nothing. Not good asset management by Stevie

Walman was a healthy scratch over the last couple weeks of the season. There was oddly no media coverage about it. Something happened with Jake. This trade seems to support that.

When we traded Vrana, he was just getting out of the player assistance program, and played more games that season in Grand Rapids than in Detroit. He was barely playing in the NHL, let alone playing like a superstar.

Why confusing? They have D talent in GR, need to sign Raymond/Seider/Kane et al. Walman scored some, but was a D liability the Wings need to fix, and had a decent sized salary they’re no longer carrying.

The point is the second rounder attached to him is horrible asset management by Stevie

@sharkhaos_probably Ай бұрын

As a Sharks fan this is a win either way. Either the Yzerplan goes perfectly and Detroit becomes a massive contender for the Cup (it feels weird that they aren't), or it's revealed that Stevie Y was NOT cooking and we get a free dman and 2nd rounder and we get to see a historical rival suffer at the bottom. Still hope that this one pans out for y'all, though.

Sharks got a great trade, move up in the draft with Buffalo AND get what I feel is a top 4 dman

@DONWASABIJUAN Ай бұрын

We definitely overvalued walman, but this still feels… off? Idk, maybe there is something that the public is not privy to about walman. Just seems strange that you had to give up a second round pick to unload his very reasonable contract. The other side of this is much scarier and that is this might just be the byproduct of Yzerman’s awful free agent signings over the last few years. Does this still happen if Yzerman didn’t sign holl and copp and trade for Petry? All I know is that with yzerman’s recent free agent track record, I am scared out of my mind at the idea of what he might do with more or less around 14 million in free cap after Seider and Raymond are signed

The reason they had to make this trade because Yzerman made too many bad signings the last few years. Now they have cap trouble.

So we keep Holl, Petry & Copp which are the most cap unfriendly contracts. Add them up and you get 15,275,000. Copp's cap hit this year is 5,625,000. Petry's cap hit this year is 6,250,000. I honestly don't know what SY is thinking.

@theskatebus1687 Ай бұрын

@doughunks4221 Petry had salary retained when we got him. The future considerations are probably to dish Copp off to them, but we're still gonna have to retain some of his salary. Probably like 3 Million of it
