After not looking like much more than a depth player, Walman has found an incredible groove with Moritz Seider. The offense-first defenseman has made his teammate better, and has earned himself a big contract.
The deal will carry him through the 2025-26 season, and holds an annual average value of $3.4-million. He will expire as an unrestricted free agent.
The Red Wings acquired Walman at last year's trade deadline along with a second-round pick and Oskar Sundqvist from the St. Louis Blues in exchange for Nick Leddy.
