SJHN Daily: Sharks Go on Team-Building Golf Trip, Walman Signs Long Contract
Jake Walman has found a long-term home.
The popular ex-San Jose Sharks defenseman has signed a seven-year, $49 million contract extension with the Edmonton Oilers.
The Monday contract announcement followed the Oilers’ two-year, $25 million deal with Connor McDavid, which fell far under the monetary expectation for many.
The San Jose Sharks sent Walman to the Oilers at the 2025 Trade Deadline in exchange for a 2026 first-round pick and Carl Berglund. Berglund played two games for the San Jose Barracuda last season, and is set to play in Czechia this year.
The Sharks originally acquired Walman in a contract dump from the Detroit Red Wings, alongside a 2024 second-round draft pick used to select Leo Sahlin Wallenius 53rd overall.
