The Detroit Red Wings are making moves ahead of the 2024 NHL Draft. First they decided to trade defenseman prospect Andrew Gibson for Jesse Kiiskinen and a 2024 2nd round pick.
Now the Red Wings have decided to flip that second-round selection along with Moritz Seider's defensive partner Jake Walman to the San Jose Sharks in a salary dump.
Jake Walman burst onto the scene last season with his high-end skating and potential for offense. However, he failed to take that next step in 2023-24 and now has been moved to the San Jose Sharks for a fresh start.
The Detroit Red Wings still land Jesse Kiiskinen out of their deal with the Nashville Predators but their poor business dealings in signing Jake Walman lose them a high-value asset.
