“You need puck movers capable of igniting an attack with this collection of forwards, and Edmonton has that in spades, now featuring one of the best trade deadline acquisitions of the 2024-25 season in Jake Walman.”
“Walman’s skating, puck-moving, and secondary offensive punch were precisely what the Oilers needed to round out their defense down the stretch last year. He’ll likely shift to his off-side and drive Edmonton’s second pair this season, which will have a positive knock-on effect on Nurse. Walman and Nurse’s results were terrific together in a small sample: 63 percent of shots and an 8-2 goal differential.”
