Red Wings complete second trade of the day, send blueliner to San Jose
Detroit Red Wings General Manager Steve Yzerman has been quite busy on Tuesday and has completed his second trade of the day.
In a post on social media, the San Jose Sharks announced that they've acquired defenceman Jake Walman and a second round pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft from the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for future considerations.
"TRADE 🚨
#SJSharks acquire defenseman Jake Walman and a second-round selection in the 2024 NHL Draft from the Red Wings." The Sharks said.

Walman, 28, has two years remaining on his contract with a cap hit of $3.4 million. The Red Wings moving him today likely means that they're trying to clear space to re-sign someone like Patrick Kane or Shayne Gostisbehere or they're looking to make a splash in free agency next week.
In 63 games this season, the Toronto, Ontario native had 21 points (12 goals, nine assists), 44 penalty minutes and was a minus-two.
More to come.
