EDGE Analysis

A shoulder injury caused Walman to get off to a late start to the campaign, but he made quite the impression for the Wings upon returning, as the aforementioned totals were all career-best marks. The Blues' castoff had played sparingly in St. Louis to start his career, though he leveled up with his new team, managing a whopping 140 shots on goal and lighting the lamp nine times to complement the same number of helpers. He inked a three-year, $10.2 million deal in February as a major boon to his confidence. From a fantasy perspective, there's a chance he'll be on the radar in deep leagues this fall.

EDGE Analysis

Walman has stepped up as a top-pairing defenseman following the trade of Filip Hronek to the Canucks, and now he's up to seven goals, six assists and a plus-15 rating through 50 games. Those counting stats won't move the needle much in fantasy leagues, but Walman has surpassed expectations in Motown, with the reward being a three-year, $10.2 million extension that he inked in February.

Walman found the back of the net in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

The Wings appreciate the competitiveness that Walman brings to the table. He signed a three-year, $10.2 million contract extension at the end of February, and the defenseman's minutes are up since the Wings dealt Filip Hronek to the Canucks. Walman has seven goals, five assists and 87 blocked shots through 45 games; those numbers won't impress your average fantasy manager, but he's earned a plus-16 rating and is clearly trending in the right direction.

Walman agreed to terms on a three-year, $10.2 million contract extension with Detroit on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Walman has seen a strong uptick in ice time, averaging 18:55 this season in which he has registered five goals, five assists and 95 shots on goal. While the 27-year-old blueliner is never going to be a Norris Trophy candidate, he should still be capable of pushing for 15-20 points per season and offering decent mid-range fantasy value, especially in formats that utilize blocks.

The 26-year-old blueliner has added 81 shots on net, 66 blocked shots, 32 hits, 24 PIM and a plus-15 rating.
