The 24-year-old native of Toronto, ON suited up for one game last season for St Louis and will look to crack the lineup this year for some more minutes. 

In 57 games with San Antonio of the AHL, Walman put up great numbers with 27 points in 57 games. It was his best season as a pro and a year he looks to build off of heading into next season.
