Walman was waived by the Blues on Monday, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Just a few years ago, Walman was considered to have a bright future in the Blues' organization, but he has since been passed up by Niko Mikkola in the franchise's pecking order. Despite an impressive training camp, Walman will go to waivers in an attempt by the Blues to shuffle him to the AHL or the taxi squad.

Walman inked a two-year contract with St. Louis on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Walman's deal will be a two-way contract in the first year before converting to a one-way in the second. While this likely means the blueliner will spend the bulk of the upcoming campaign in the minors, the organization clearly believes he can grow into a full-time NHL caliber player. With AHL San Antonio last year, the 24-year-old Toronto native racked up career-highs in both goals (eight) and assists (19). Walman made his NHL debut last year and should see a few more games in 2020-21 if/when injuries crop up.

Walman was reassigned to AHL San Antonio on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Walman made his NHL debut in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Golden Knights, and he logged 11:04 of ice time. It doesn't make sense for the 23-year-old to be bouncing in and out of the lineup and playing minimal minutes when he does suit up, so he'll continue his development in the AHL ranks. Niko Mikkola was called up in a corresponding move.

Walman logged 11:04 of ice time and fired a shot on net in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Walman teamed up with Robert Bortuzzo on the bottom pairing, but the former wasn't deployed on the power play or penalty kill. The 23-year-old's stint in the lineup will last as long as Colton Parayko (undisclosed) is out of the lineup, but considering Parayko took warmups before Saturday's game, it doesn't look like that will be much longer.

St. Louis recalled Walman from AHL Chicago on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The Blues only had six healthy defensemen on their roster prior to Walman's promotion, so he'll round out the team's blue-line depth for the foreseeable future. The 23-year-old has notched 18 points in 32 AHL appearances this season.

Walman was shipped off to AHL Chicago on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Walman was in St. Louis simply to provide emergency depth on the blue line, as he failed to crack the lineup. The Toronto native will return to the Wolves, for whom he has recorded two goals, 11 assists, and 14 PIM. The 21-year-old should remain atop the short list of potential call-ups should the Blues pick up additional injuries.

Walman was called up from AHL Chicago on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Measuring in at 6-foot-1 and 170 pounds, Walman needs to bulk up to avoid getting physically destroyed at the highest level. The Blues sent Vince Dunn (illness) to injured reserve Saturday, but the team still has the requisite number of defensemen for Saturday's matinee against the Flyers and likely will avoid using Walman -- who has two goals and 11 assists for the AHL's Wolves this season -- if at all possible. This isn't a knock on the youngster, but the Blues would much rather play him under different circumstances.

Walman has two goals and 10 assists through 33 games with AHL Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Walman has had more than enough opportunities to score, having fired the puck on net 80 times this season. His knack for firing the puck on net is consistent with the Blues' vision, which has led to a hefty increase in offensive production from blueliners in the first half of this campaign. However, the St. Louis is a tough blue line to crack -- ask Jordan Schmaltz -- so Walman will need to increase his offensive abilities further to make the cut next season.

Walman agreed to terms on a three-year, entry-level contract with the Blues on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Walman recently completed his junior season at Providence College where he was named a Hockey East First-Team All-Star for the second consecutive season. The 6-foot, 193-pound defenseman has shown both offensive and defensive prowess from the blue line, notching seven goals, 18 assists, and a plus-11 rating in 39 games for the Friars this season. He will immediately report to AHL Chicago and will be a fascinating prospect to watch going forward.

Walman is on track with his rehab from shoulder surgery and expects to be back to full strength prior to the start of the season, Mark Divver of the Providence Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walman originally hurt the shoulder after being hit into the boards during a game with Providence University back in December, and then re-injured the shoulder in February. He then went on to have shoulder surgery in March and has been rehabbing ever since. Walman expects to be back to full strength by the start of the season, but considering he's yet to see action in an NHL game, he remains off the fantasy radar.
