Red Wings' Jake Walman: Set for training camp
Walman (upper body) is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, per Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

Walman is projected to be back alongside Moritz Seider on Detroit's top defense pairing during the 2023-24 campaign.

Red Wings' Jake Walman: Dealing with upper-body issue
Walman (upper body) will not participate in the World Championship.
Walman set new career bests with nine goals, 18 points and 140 shots through 63 games this season. The 27-year-old was expected to represent Team Canada this offseason but now he'll use that time to heal before the 2023-24 campaign.

Red Wings' Jake Walman: Nice fit in Motown
Walman posted 18 points, 47 hits, 121 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating through 63 games this season.
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.

Walman found the back of the net in a 3-2 victory over Carolina on Thursday.
Walman supplied the deciding goal with just four seconds left in the third period. It was the 27-year-old's second career game-winner.

Red Wings' Jake Walman: Lends helper in loss
Walman posted an assist in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.
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.

Red Wings' Jake Walman: Pots seventh goal
Walman found the back of the net in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.
The Wings likely 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.

Red Wings' Jake Walman: Secures three-year extension
Walman agreed to terms on a three-year, $10.2 million contract extension with Detroit on Tuesday.
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.

Walman scored his fifth goal of the season in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.
While Moritz Seider is the future on the blue line for Detroit, Walman is suddenly looking like a key piece as well.

The goal was Walman's first point in two contests this season, as he was sidelined for the first month of the campaign while recovering from shoulder surgery.
