It is obvious that you’re running out of topics to talk about: you’re keep making videos on this topic. Yzerman did what he had to do without causing any issues. Yes, what happened behind the scene is that Walman attitude changed and caused havoc in the locker room. And he needed to go…. May I remind you that it was Yzerman who traded for him and gave him a chance to play in NHL. People need a second chance and he made the best of it in SJ. So let’s be proud of what Yzerman did without causing any drama. I hope you can move on from this.
Agree with the other comments, Walman had to go for one reason or another. He wasn’t part of the future and cannot have a cancer in the room. This also gave Johansson the opportunity to play-
yzerman is a clown and water is wet, these are things we know lol
EXACTLY!!!!!!
Jesus me and everyone it seems like are so damn tired of this Walman situation being drug out so far . Like we know it leave it in the damn past
Love your channel Leggo Rocks 🤘 I'm starting to feel like maybe this was a favor Yzerman had to do to somehow get Walman over to Edmonton maybe he was the missing link for them to win the cup????
Can you say sacrifice to the hockey God's???? If there was such a thing??? 😂😂😂 I'm joking of course but also didn't Todd coach both Edmonton and San Jose???? Is it possible in order for Stevie to get Todd to say yes in wich knowing Stevie as long as I have watching him play hockey all those 13 years before winning the Stanley Cup he was a very calculated man on and off the ice maybe he was doing those 2 teams a favor knowing Walman was too good for Detroit and he had better chance somewhere else?
I don't know the details of the Edmonton trade but the fact that he is in the Stanley Cup finals makes me believe either yes what you just said about something happened where he just had to go or possibly Stevie was helping the Oilers win the Cup???? That's all I can really think of and that's why he won't discuss it because there are some things you have to keep secret and I believe in Yzerman he didn't win the cup as a captain over night but he won 3 as captain and his most recent team that he put together and just left to come home ended up with 2 cups so maybe somewhere in this Walman trade it could be bigger then what we know and maybe that was some good deed he did hoping for some good karma and puck luck for the wings that's all I can think of Stevie Y is a great guy he will always be the true and only captain of the Detroit Red Wings in my heart till the end of time lol
To all the folks saying Wallman was a locker room cancer, where is your source? I haven't heard anything from anyone on the subject, and Steve Yzerman dodges the questions when pressed.
If you have a source aside from mere speculation and hearsay, I want to see it. Until then, I'm in agreement with most of the fan base, that Yzerman screwed the pooch on that deal.
I'm a season ticket holder, and I can say he's not got that much more room for error before more of us start bailing from being season ticket holders.
Don’t care what happened he should have stayed a red wing
wouldnt this be a Sharks/Grier fumble because they sent him to Edmonton?
If they don't win game 1 they would have his head rn it was his fault he wasn't strong enough to push Bennet away he's soft he's going to give up pucks,they will cry when they lose game 3 and 4 cuz of him
