The Detroit Red Wings have signed Jake Walman, a 27-year-old defenseman, to a three-year contract extension. Walman was set to become an unestricted free agent after this season but the Red Wings decided to secure his services for the foreseeable future.

Walman joined the Red Wings organization after a trade with the St. Louis Blues, and he has established himself as a reliable player on the blue line. This season, he has been a consistent performer, tallying 10 points in 40 games and earning more ice time as the season has progressed.

The extension is a clear indication of the Red Wings' belief in Walman's potential. Detroit is a team in the midst of a rebuilding process, and young players like Walman will be crucial to their future success. With this contract extension, Walman can continue to develop and grow as a player, while the Red Wings benefit from having a talented defenseman in their lineup for the next three seasons.

Overall, the signing of Jake Walman to a three-year extension is a positive development for the Red Wings, and it will be interesting to see how he continues to contribute to the team's progress moving forward.
