It's a little on the high side for a 3LD, but it's not bad.

:O that's certainly a lot for a guy that was a throw-in in a Leddy trade.

He's been solid this year but...can he keep it up?

He actually plays on the top pair and has been pretty good in that role

Guilty as charged; I haven't really paid attention to DET this year.

How has Walman looked next to Seider? Is he driving play on his own, or is he more of a passenger?

He's a solid top 4 LD. Pretty versatile. Putting yes as he has always been good analytically speaking and then with his gritty celly, he deserves the extra.

Boy you can really tell who has been watching wings games this year and who hasn't. Walman has had a terrific season and earned his payday. Left side of the blue line is looking a little full at the moment but Yzerman has made it clear that the young guys need to earn their way in the lineup.

Better pairing than Seider-Chiarot, that's for sure. They have been very good together and both of their numbers have improved together.

If Walman can keep up his current play this contract is a steal like no other. Walman and Seider complements each other so much that they've been one of the most statistically elite pairings this year. If anyone hasnt watched Red Wings this year this may look steep but he's definitely worth it from this year alone. Let's see if he can keep it up.

That's a lot of money for Walman, sure he's playing with Seider right now but Walman's still best suited as a #4/5D

He had only played 76 games before this season and 57 before being traded to Detroit. He played sheltered minutes with the Blues. Maybe this is his coming out party???

We can only hope!

Big gamble, but Walman's been great this season. His underlying stats were also decent in St. Louis though, so maybe this isn't as big of a gamble

Abso-****in-lutely! Walman has more than earned this contract this year, his pairing with Seider has worked wonders. Especially since the Charot/Seider combo failed so miserably earlier in the year. This undoubtedly means that Charot will not live out his contract here. Hopefully he's not as bad as a cap casualty as I fear he will be.
