The Sharks acquire Jake Walman and a second-round draft pick from the Red Wings

The 28-year-old Walman scored twelve goals and nine assists in 63 games for Detroit last season. His 21 points ranked fourth among all Red Wings defensemen.

Originally a third-round pick out of St. Louis in 2014, Walman has 25 goals and 26 assists in 202 career games in the NHL for the Blues and Red Wings.

The Sharks now have three second-round picks in this week’s draft, as well as being ranked 33rd and 42nd overall. San Jose also has the No. 1 pick and the 14th selection, giving the Sharks five of the first 60 picks in the draft.

The Red Wings got the pick they sent to San Jose earlier in the day when they sent defenseman Andrew Gibson to Nashville. Detroit also brought in Jesse Kiiskinen in that trade.
