Dane it Yzerman. Why you gotta leave us in suspense with such ambiguous wording.

Hmmmm so that’s it? I hope not, but the contradictory comments from other GMs still make the trade wild and not end in our favor.
I’m holding my breath until FA where the real fun starts. But it seems like the book can be closed on “future considerations” coming back into play. Unless it’s something going on during tomorrow’s draft.

Yeah. Not ideal.

So ultimately we ended up moving Andrew Gibson to unload Walman’s contact. The real question now is why it was that difficult to move Walman in the first place. My assumption is that if he was healthy we wouldn’t have needed to send a 2nd to get him moved.

The real loser is Walman, I mean SJ – yeah good luck.

So does this toss the kakko rumors out or?

Why would it be hard to move Walman. Really.

I suppose there are not a lot of teams looking to add a LHD with a bit of term…especially until after Free Agency when there are not as many options. But they seem to be looking to make some significant moves coming up and it sure doesn’t seem to be limited to adding Free Agents.

Save money for Seider, Raymond, Kane and maybe Stamkos or another big name and maybe Ghost

Good god almighty
– We have confirmed reports from other GMs that they would have taken Walman in a heartbeat naturally, even pay minor assets also. You can’t lie through your teeth nowadays, info gets around. It is 2024.
– There’s a quasi expansion team with half a roster and quite a ways from the cap floor rn, who want to be competitive quickly also! How the fuck would Utah not just take Walman lol. **They literally don’t have a signed D on their roster right now!** (granted multiple RFAs) I mean this element brings it into clown territory. 🥴
– How could one see Walman as the problem with Maatta and Holl on similar or easier to move contracts. Highest WAR outside of Seider and crazy good results with seider, to the point us analytics folks thought he might become Weegar 2.0. He didn’t ofc but still easily the 2nd best D asset on the team.
