Confirmed with Link: Jake Walman

[Henkka]

Tage already got his big raise, and they'll pay for a goalie. At that point signing a warm body or two gets them to the floor.

Quite sure they'll throw something like 8 x 8 for Cozens.

Then extend both Girgensons and Okposo for ~2M.

Get a goalie for 5M.

Then they have something like 15 million left to sign one RhD from free market.

Think Erik Karlsson could be a fit via trade? Maybe a bit afterwards.

Hell yeah.

Why Lalonde not Yzerman?

 

[datsyukfan]

Why Lalonde not Yzerman?

That was his postgame press conference

 

[Ezekial]

Why Lalonde not Yzerman?

The deal isn't done, Yzerman would never directly address ongoing negotiations with the media.
Yzerman doesn't talk to the media frequently.

 

[Mister Ed]

3 years at 3.4M per. A great deal!

 

[Frk It]

If we move on from Ghost, should he get a shot on PP2 next year? He has a hell of a shot.

absolutely he should. Seider goes pp1 (hopefully he actually shoots it too...only gripe I have with seider is not shooting on the powerplay) and Walman on pp2 would be great.

As a guy in the circles maybe. Not a fan of his puck distribution as the high man. Ed's a better passer.

Norrisnick trying not to hype Ed.

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

The shot is there, not sure the passing acumen is.

I love Jake, but I don't think he can give us what Mo and Ghost are capable of on the back end of the PP.

That's kind of what I'm seeing. I love Wally but he's probably at most a 20 assist defender.

In an ideal world Walman would be a team's #4 defenseman and probably the very best #4 in the league. His defense and skating are terrific but I think his overall game would look better if slotted lower in the lineup.

Is that even hyping Ed? Only Holl has fewer assists than Walman of our regularly rostered defensemen.

But who has a better celly/60 than Wallman on D?

 

[14ari13]

He deserved to get his thread on the 1st page.

Jake Walman capitalized on a penalty shot in overtime – the first player in Red Wings history to do so – and Patrick Kane collected an assist while skating in his 1,200th game to help Detroit defeat Vancouver. Walman became the fourth defenseman in NHL history to score a penalty-shot goal in overtime, joining Ben Hutton (Nov. 17, 2016 w/ VAN), Andy Greene (Nov. 11, 2016 w/ NJD) and Frantisek Kaberle (Jan. 13, 2006 w/ CAR).

Mickey's played a million games and called a million more. Hearing him yelling "Penalty shot! Penalty shot!" as soon as the ref makes the sign, with the same energy as a kid convinced he hears Santa on the roof, makes me smile.

Man, that battle between Peterson and Raymond was something.

Its a shame he doesnt get a point, kid is a work horse.

 

[raymond23]

I'm so happy I got the griddy bobblehead

It's fun watching Walman develop in real time. He is 9th in blocked shots and Seider is 12th. He doesn't lay a lot of hits but he definitely puts his body on the line.

Definite steal by Yzerman. If Yzerman can build up the D a little bit so Seider/Walman aren't playing every single tough minute, I think we're going to see what a gem he is. I could see him growing into a 50p guy.

It also tickles me that St. Louis started declining and Detroit started improving right after we dumped Leddy. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I've never seen a guy give up quite like Leddy gave up in Detroit.

The only mistake was he knocked his goalkeeper down instead of the opponents

He really deserved the assist on that goal, but didn't get it. I would like Mickey to talk about that battle.

Mickey loved it. Me too.
The best game of the season. And Raymond had a great game.
