Jake Walman

Jake Walman has exploded onto the scene this year. He has fantastic offensive and defensive metrics and has worked his way up the lineup from 3rd pair to 1st.

When the Detroit Red Wings traded defenseman Nick Leddy to the St. Louis Blues at last season’s trade deadline, the package the Red Wings received was filled with intrigue. First, they received a second round pick in the 2023 draft, a draft that is being characterized by its overall depth. Second, they received veteran forward Oskar Sundqvist, a player that has seamlessly fit into the Red Wings’ lineup and, more importantly, their locker room. The last piece, however, was perhaps the most intriguing. The third piece Detroit received was defenseman Jake Walman, a 26-year-old defenseman who had played just 57 games with the Blues since he was drafted in the third round of the 2014 draft.

Walman scored his fifth goal of the season in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Blue Jackets. While Moritz Seider is the future on the blue line for Detroit, Walman is suddenly looking like a key piece as well. The 26-year-old has a point in four straight games, finding the back of the net in three of them, and over the last dozen contests he has four goals and seven points while seeing action on the second power-play unit. He's also chipped in 14 PIM, 16 hits, 27 blocked shots, 32 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over that stretch, production that makes him a fantasy asset in plenty of formats.

DETROIT – Hitting the Griddy following his overtime goal on Wednesday earned Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jake Walman a tip of the hat from Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson. Walman’s solid defensive play since returning from offseason shoulder surgery has earned him an opportunity on the top pairing tonight...

Walman was a restricted free agent after finishing a two-year contract with a $725,000 cap hit, a deal he originally signed with the St. Louis Blues. He had an arbitration hearing scheduled on August 11th, but the two parties have managed to reach an agreement beforehand. With this deal done, there are no more arbitration cases left for the summer.

Detroit — The Red Wings and defenseman Jake Walman have avoided an arbitration hearing. Walman and the Wings agreed to a one-year contract worth $1.05 million. Walman, 26, was acquired along with forward Oskar Sundqvist at last season's trade deadline from St. Louis, in a trade for defenseman Nick Leddy.

Defenseman Jake Walman and the Detroit Red Wings will avoid arbitration after reportedly agreeing on a one-year contract extension, per Elliotte Friedman:. Friedman reported on Tuesday that Walman was asking for around $1.7 million (one-way), while the team offered a two-way deal at $775k/$225k. The agreement between both sides checks off one of Steve Yzerman’s final offseason moves.

Walman (shoulder) signed a one-year, $1.05 million contract with Detroit on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. Walman was headed for an arbitration hearing but instead agreed to settle with the club on a new deal. Perhaps most importantly for the blueliner, his new contract is a one-way pact, which means it will be harder for the club to move him between the NHL and AHL. WIth Walman expected to miss the start of the season due to his shoulder issue, he may be hard-pressed to secure regular minutes in 2022-23.

On Sunday, the NHLPA announced 24 NHL players who have elected for salary arbitration with their respective teams, and included on the list is Detroit Red Wings D Jake Walman. Walman, who is 26, was originally selected by the St. Louis Blues in the third round of the 2014 NHL Draft.

Walman is recovering from shoulder surgery and won't be ready for the start of the 2022-23 season, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports. It's unclear when Walman underwent surgery, but he'll miss the start of the 2022-23 campaign at a minimum. The 26-year-old defender picked up three goals and 10 points through 51 top-level appearances split between the Blues and the Red Wings last season.

The St. Louis Blues 2021-22 season represented a major transition for the franchise. No longer a stout defensive team built from the blueline out, they finished second in the NHL in goals scored, with nine forwards recording 20-plus goals. Though the season came to an end in a six-game defeat by the Colorado Avalanche in the second round, there are plenty of highs and lows to reflect on. In this series, we’ll evaluate each player who played 10 or more games with the team (as well as the head coach and general manager), grading their individual performance and looking at their future with the team.

Walman added an assist in the season finale Friday, contributing to a 5-3 win over the Devils. Walman started his third season with the Blues, adding six points through 32 games, but a trade to the Wings afforded him an expanded role and he pitched in four assists, 26 hits and 32 blocked shots through 19 contests. He does have some offensive flair to his game, but coach Jeff Blashill sent him to the ice in the defensive zone 53 percent of the time which was a change of pace from what Walman was accustomed to in St. Louis. Wallman is a restricted free agent ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.

Walman (upper body) will return to the lineup Tuesday versus the Senators. Walman missed Saturday's game versus the Blue Jackets with an upper-body injury, but it's clearly not a serious issue. The 26-year-old Walman will return to a third-pairing role. He's logged two assists in nine games since he was traded from the Blues to the Red Wings at the trade deadline.

Walman (upper body) won't play Saturday versus the Blue Jackets, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports. Jordan Oesterle will enter the lineup to replace Walman. The 26-year-old Walman has earned two assists in nine games since he was traded to Detroit from the Blues, but he's been limited primarily to a bottom-four role. His next chance to play will be Tuesday versus the Senators.
