The Edmonton Oilers seem to be busy the night before the NHL Trade Deadline. After a series of waiver movements following the trade that saw them acquire Trent Frederic and Max Jones, more appears to be on the way.

The Edmonton Oilers and San Jose Sharks were both expected to be among the most active teams heading into the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline. With the Oilers trying to right the wrongs from their 2024 Stanley Cup Finals loss and the Sharks rebuilding towards the future,

Before Thursday night’s game against the Colorado Avalanche, the Sharks had already traded goalie Vitek Vanecek and center Nico Sturm to the Florida Panthers in separate deals. In February, San Jose sent forward Mikael Granlund and defenseman Cody Ceci to the Dallas Stars, and goalie Mackenzie Blackwood to the Avalanche in December.

The Oilers were reportedly looking for another defenceman to solidify their group before the trade deadline, and Walman is a promising addition who can play both sides.

The Oilers are finalizing a trade with the Sharks to acquire defenseman Jake Walman before the NHL Trade Deadline.

Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli, the Edmonton Oilers are expected to acquire defenseman Jake Walman from the San Jose Sharks. According to Seravalli, the Oilers still have some work to do to make the deal go through.

Another day, another San Jose Sharks trade… Well, two I guess. The Sharks traded forward Nico Sturm to the Florida Panthers earlier today and now there are reports that they have traded defenseman Jake Walman to the Edmonton Oilers.
