Jake Walman - Page 7 - NHL News & Rumors

Heading north in trade Walman was traded to the Oilers from the Sharks on Thursday in exchange for Carl Berglund and a conditional 2026 first-round pick.

Impact The pick is top-12 protected, and would transfer to 2027 in the unlikely event the Oilers get such a high pick in 2026. Walman bolsters the left side of the Edmonton defense, and he could pair with Evan Bouchard or former Sharks teammate Ty Emberson. Walman has contributed a career-high 32 points over 50 appearances this season as the leader on San Jose's blue line, but his move to a contender will likely lower his ice time and his scoring output, so fantasy managers may want to have a backup plan in place for their defense corps.

MARCH 7, 2025 • EDMONTONJOURNAL.COM

Being held out Thursday Walman is being held out of the lineup versus the Avalanche on Thursday for trade-related reasons, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Walman is expected to be dealt to the Oilers, but both the Sharks and Oilers are playing Thursday. Additionally, Edmonton's having an injury crisis on defense, so the deal is not expected to be completed immediately -- though it could happen after the games Thursday or at some point Friday. Walman has a career-high 32 points over 50 appearances this season, but his role is likely to shrink dramatically with the Oilers.

Career season continues Walman had two assists in a 6-2 win over Buffalo on Tuesday.

Impact His breakout season continues. Walman has 32 points, including 26 helpers, and 125 shots in 50 games this season. His average ice time is up significantly -- more than three minutes a night -- from last season in Detroit (23:11 vs. 19:46). And his minus-1 rating is impressive on a team with a minus-68 goal differential on the season. Walman's career season feels like lightning in a bottle, but at the same time, we can't deny his value right now.

MARCH 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Secures first 30-point campaign Walman notched an assist, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and two PIM in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.

Impact Walman has logged three assists over eight contests since his last goal. He's still arguably the best blueliner the Sharks have, at least for fantasy. The 29-year-old is up to 30 points for the first time in his career, doing so in a mere 45 appearances. He's added 114 shots on net, 91 blocked shots, 44 hits and a minus-1 rating while skating in a top-four role.

He also has 24 blocks in that six-game sample. The 28-year-old blueliner is up to 29 points (seven on the power play), 108 shots on net, 82 blocks, 40 hits, 28 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 42 contests overall.

Supplies helper in loss Walman notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and four blocked shots in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Walman had an attempt redirected in by Cody Ceci in the first period. With three points over his last eight games, Walman's scoring pace has slowed following his return from a lower-body injury earlier in the month. The defenseman is at 28 points, 102 shots on net, 66 blocked shots, 35 hits, 24 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 39 appearances. Despite the downturn on offense, Walman remains in a top-pairing role with a spot on the first power-play unit.

Earns assist in return Walman posted an assist and five shots on goal over 22:19 of ice time in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Wild.

Impact Walman missed eight games due to a lower-body injury, but he was able to pick up where he left off prior to the absence. The 28-year-old logged six points over nine outings in December, and he has been the Sharks' best offensive blueliner this season. Overall, he's at 26 points, 85 shots on net, 48 blocked shots, 31 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 32 appearances.

Good to play Saturday Walman (lower body) is off the injured reserve, which clears him to play against Minnesota on Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Walman was last in the lineup Dec. 21. He has five goals and 25 points in 31 appearances in 2024-25. Walman is set to serve in the top four and will likely feature on the power play.

JANUARY 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision versus Wild Walman (lower body) will be a game-time decision versus Minnesota on Saturday, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Impact Walman has been a pleasant surprise for the Sharks this season, tallying five goals and adding 20 assists in only 31 games. He has sat out the last eight games with his injury and should he return to the lineup, he will quarterback the first power play.

JANUARY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable for Friday Walman (lower body) will not join the Sharks on their trip to Utah for Friday's tilt, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Impact Walman will miss his eighth straight game as a result. He has five goals and 25 points in 31 appearances in 2024-25. The Sharks will be back at home to host Minnesota on Saturday, so it's at least possible that Walman might play in that outing.

JANUARY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Targeting Friday return Walman (lower body) is hoping to rejoin the lineup against Utah on Friday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact While the news effectively rules Walmn out versus Vegas on Tuesday, it appears the blueliner is making strides in his recovery. While the Toronto native had just one goal in 10 games prior to getting hurt, he did manage to rack up seven helpers over that stretch, including three with the man advantage. In order to face Utah, Walman will first need to be activated off injured reserve.

JANUARY 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to IR Walman (lower body) will shift to injured reserve Saturday, according to Max Miller of NHL.com.

Impact San Jose will activate William Eklund (upper body) from injured reserve in a corresponding move. Walman will miss his sixth straight game versus New Jersey on Saturday. He has amassed five goals, 25 points, 80 shots on net, 47 blocked shots and 30 hits in 31 appearances this season.

JANUARY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Will remain out Thursday Walman (lower body) won't be an option for Thursday's tilt against Tampa Bay, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Impact Walman is set to miss his fifth straight game. He has five goals and 25 points in 31 appearances in 2024-25. When healthy, Walman serves in a top-four capacity.
