Wallmark didn't receive a qualifying offer from Florida, which means he'll become an unrestricted free agent Wednesday, CapFriendly reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wallmark signed a one-year deal with CSKA Moska of the KHL for the 2021-22 campaign, so this move was expected. The 25-year-old forward may end up spending the rest of his playing career overseas.

Wallmark secured a one-year contract from CSKA Moscow (KHL) on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Wallmark appeared in just four games for the Panthers after being acquired from Chicago at the trade deadline. When he did get a chance to play, the 25-year-old center averaged just 10:31 of ice time and failed to register a point. If Florida is interested in retaining Wallmark's NHL rights, the club could decide to hand him a qualifying offer.

Wallmark was traded to Florida along with Lucas Carlsson in exchange for Brett Connolly, Riley Stillman, Henrik Borgstrom and a seventh-round pick on Thursday, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
This was primarily a cap dump for the Panthers, who will now be free to explore some high-end options on the trade market with Connolly's $3.5 million cap hit no longer on the books. Wallmark has only drawn into 16 games with the Blackhawks this season, picking up three helpers over that span. The 25-year-old forward will likely report to Florida's taxi squad once he completes his mandatory quarantine.

Wallmark was removed from the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Although Wallmark's been removed from the protocols list, he'll still need to be added to the Blackhawks' active roster before returning to game action, which likely won't happen until he's participated in a handful or practices. The 25-year-old forward picked up three helpers in five games before entering the league's COVID-19 protocols nearly two weeks ago.
