NHL: Jake Walman has made his mark with San Jose Sharks since being traded by Detroit Red Wings
San Jose Sharks’ Jake Walman waits for a face-off during their game against the Los Angeles Kings in the third period at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., on Tuesday, Oct. 29, 2024. But he also harbors no ill will toward the Red Wings organization as he returns to Little Caesars Arena on Tuesday for the first time since being traded to San Jose last June.
Walman told local reporters in July, roughly two weeks after the trade, that he was “a little bit shocked” by the deal since his name hadn’t been bandied about in any rumors. A recent report by Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli indicated that Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman didn’t necessarily shop Walman around before consummating the deal with the Sharks on June 25.
“Good trade, right? He’s been noticeable when he’s in our lineup, and when he’s not, we miss him,” Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said of Walman. “He’s been important for us. Last game, he helped us break out pucks and close in the defensive zone. There is obviously some offense to his game. So he’s been a good piece.”
