Red Wings trade Walman to Sharks for future considerations

The Detroit Red Wings traded defenseman Jake Walman and a second-round pick to the San Jose Sharks for future considerations, the teams announced Tuesday.

Detroit signed Walman to a three-year, $10.2-million extension in February 2023. His contract featured a 10-team no-trade clause, according to Cap Friendly.

Walman notched 21 points in 63 games this past season while averaging just under 20 minutes per contest. Detroit originally added the 28-year-old from the St. Louis Blues in March 2022.

Detroit acquired the second-round pick it sent to San Jose earlier Tuesday in a trade with the Nashville Predators. The selection originally belonged to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
