Literally the exact thing I’ve been saying about this 2nd round pick.

I’m still confused at why we sent him to SJ with a 2nd, when other teams would have likely traded for him straight up or taken him off of waivers. If we flip picks in the 1st round then it obviously makes sense, otherwise it looks like bad asset management…which is the opposite of what Yzerman is known for. Maybe the 18yo prospect wasnt a throw in, and they have serious interest, like Dmac mentioned. Gonna be a fun offseason

I love the “we need the open spots”, but we get rid of our 2nd or 3rd best dman and not our 5-7th best guy? That makes 0 sense to me. Like getting rid or year wr2 for a new rookie receiver and keep ing your 3rd and 4th receiver in the process…Holl makes the same $..

I’m really not sad at Walman being gone, I’m just mad and confused at the asset management. The fact that Walman wasn’t shopped around or even put on waivers is just baffling. There was zero effort on Yzerman’s part to clear the spot and retain assets. I’m honestly okay with the Gibson trade because I don’t think he would’ve ultimately been more than a bottom pairing guy. But to give up the second rounder you got for him and get nothing back and also lose a player that other GMs have said they would’ve given something for is baffling.
