The Athletic has live coverage of the 2025 NHL trade deadline. The Edmonton Oilers beefed up their defense on Thursday with the acquisition of Jake Walman from the San Jose Sharks. The Oilers sent their 2026 first-round pick — which they can move to 2027 if it is a top-12 pick — and forward Carl Berglund to the Sharks.

NHL Trade Deadline has come and gone after months of rumor and speculation. Deadline Day itself was a chaotic affair with multiple big moves. However, there were also some major moves before March 7th.

Sharks GM Mike Grier has pulled off one of the greatest moves of the season. The Red Wings have made some questionable moves in the past but perhaps none more so than trading a second-round pick to the Sharks to take Jake Walman's contract in exchange for future considerations (read: nothing).
