I mean it's a small small sample size but you can't be unhappy with the results of him with seider. Been one of the best pairs in the league since being put together

This makes me wonder what he was asking for before the season started. He was scheduled for arbitration but signed 1 x $1.05M before it went to arbitration.

Good contract. Most people think he's a bottom pairing d man but really he plays best with Seider and vice versa. So paying this contract just to help your best d man play better is worth it in the long run

I’d say Walman is worth that, but his celebrations are worth much more

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?


Well I'd take it with a small grain of salt because Chiarot has been so bad it's throwing off the #s, but he is a 97% player by WAR so... yeah.

Walmart was a guy I was interested in over the summer because I believed he could do something like this. Wish my team had managed to pry him away

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


Walman is a big reason as to why Seider is playing great right now.

One could argue on some nights (like last night) he's been the better of the two.

You are paying a #5 dman 7.575M ...


Did you just call Spurgeon a #5 dman or am I misinterpreting your post?

It was sarcasm to the guy calling Walman a 3rd pairing guy

Just because he’s playing on the 1st pair doesn’t mean he’s a number one left d.

I thought this deal was fine until I saw that there was a Ten team no trade list.

Where are all the folks who blasted me for saying the Leddy deal was the worst trade of Armstrong's Blues tenure when it happened? That thing just gets worse by the day.

He has very good stats playing 2nd line TOI. Worst case he becomes Seiders complimentary partner which is still good value
