Confirmed with Link: Jake Walman

[dalem177]

A two-way contract would pay him way less if he were in the AHL. A one-way would pay him NHL-level salary regardless of whether he's in the A or the NHL.

Ahh. Interesting, thanks! If he bounces back and forth is it prorated in a 2-way? Or always the lesser rate?

Whenever he's with the big team he makes the big number and whenever he's with the little team he makes the little number.

Can't we all just get back to hating on Justin Abdelkader?

True, Abby will be making twice as much as Walman next season, and Walman's contract can be buried while Abby's buyout remains on the books.

Do you think when Lidstrom was signing 1 year deals, other fans were like, "OMG I can't believe we didn't sign him for that, ugh!"

There were. I remember reading them.

 

[Bench]

There were. I remember reading them.

That's pretty amusing, actually. I never once thought for a second he'd play elsewhere. Didn't realize other fan bases were so hopeful.

Thanks. Always more fun learning from you guys than from Google.

 

[The Red Line]

Are you really gonna make a big deal about $50k? LOL.

Probably just felt sorry for the kid since he got injured while playing for the Wings, one way contract for one year really doesn't benefit the team unless Stevie is planning on selling Maatta at the deadline. (Which may actually be his end game.)

Huh? He literally quoted your post about it being a two-way vs. one-way deal. He said nothing about the 50k difference.... don't strawman.

Who the f*** is walman? 1.7 m lol gtfoh

This is exactly what I said " I think if it's a one way contract over a mil Stevie will walk."

One way over $1M. It's over $1mil by $50k. Strawman my ass, learn how to read if you want to start an argument.

Speaking of strawman up my ass, I had a colonoscopy Monday. It was as much fun as arguing with you.

Because rich guys don't become rich guys by giving away unnecessary money.

Is this what you say to your waitress after she serves you your T-bone dinner?

 

[Frk It]

I anticipate a lot of guys hitting waivers this fall, more than usual.

 

[jaster]

Guys, guys, let's chill out in here. It's all good. Let's just enjoy that Buttkrak, after recent posts touting his predictive powers for trades and signings, made a very clear and confident prediction, was wrong about it, and then when it was pointed out he was wrong implied that he was actually right because he was barely wrong. And pointing it out at all is making a big deal out of it ​

​

Just busting your chops, Krakmaster ​

I know you're just playing with me, but seriously an NHL GM isn't gonna let a guy walk for $50k difference. $50k is damn f'ing close as far as predicting NHL salaries anyways.

I'm a little testy this week because my ButtKrak got violated with a scope, lol.

I think you're being more anal than testy, to be honest.

To be fair, some dude with a reading comprehension issue decided to tell me I was creating a "strawman", but I don't disagree with you, lol.

 

[Gniwder]

Activated off IR, team is now carrying 13F and 8D on the roster

Can't be any worse than watching Oesterle AND Hagg play together.... right?

Edit: Mentioning the 13F because Bert is supposed to back soon. Czarnik probably gets sent down since Berggren looks good so far

Yeah, I really hope that was last try of those guys.

Lindström was instantly better, when got a chance with Oesterle, he can open the play much better than Hägg.

Also, Walman is samewhat type as Oesterle, hopefully better, Walman-Lindström should be the way to go.

Hägg should be sent to Griffins.

He needs to go somewhere where there aren't young impressionable future Red Wing defensemen around.

Waivers? Toledo ?

Barring a trade waivers would be involved wherever he goes.

Send he to a nunnery!

Trade is the way to go. He'll make the other team worse.

Lots of injuries across the league, maybe someone will take him for "future considerations" or maybe a bag of pucks..... or maybe just the bag and then Zadina can fill it, lol.

 

[MBH]

Walman was bad in Detroit last year but he was playing higher in the lineup than he ever has before.
Maybe he can be a 3LD, but I have my doubts.
There's no future here for him, either way.

He was playing with an injured shoulder so I'll give him a second chance.

He can skate, but his defense definitely needs work.

 

[Oddbob]

Not expecting anything from Walman. He looked like a 7th at best to me.
