Oilers acquire Walman from Sharks
The Oilers landed defenseman Jake Walman from the Sharks ahead of Friday's trade deadline in exchange for AHL forward Carl Berglund and a conditional first-round pick.
The way things were going for the Edmonton Oilers for weeks heading toward the trade deadline, it seemed like getting a more defensive-style blueliner was the way to go. The Oilers were, well, leaking oil around their net by surrendering 4.
The Edmonton Oilers are now right up against the trade deadline, and are still pursuing one major addition for their team with their top six forward group.
The arrival of Walman fixes Edmonton's biggest priority ahead of the deadline, reported to be the addition of a defenseman. It gives the Oilers a versatile option for their top four, joining Evan Bouchard, Mattias Ekholm, and Darnell Nurse.
