Well that’s bad. From what I remember of preseason, Walker was a stud. Hope Goligoski recovers and that Walker is able to show what he’s got.

Hope goose is ok. But I’m kind of happy I don’t have to watch him play defense lol

I kept saying to myself « Walker not being on this roster is a crime »
I kept saying to myself « Goligoski does not deserve this spot. ».
I’m a little tired of getting what I want by someone getting hurt.

Sammy Walker is coming to St Paul to eat cake and score goals, and he’s all out of cake.

I’m a bit surprised that they didn’t go the route of the exception since they won’t accrue cap while Goligoski is on LTIR. That said, that extra cap space (around 1.95 I believe) allows for other call ups if needed. They just need to be cap compliant again once Goose returns from LTIR.
Hopefully Walker shows improvement from his off season work – I know he tested very well pre season & played well. This is a big opportunity for him. I’m guessing he just takes Boldy’s spot. Rossi moving up would be great but I’m not sure they’ll do that with how well that 3rd line has played.

Walker is good offensively and pretty suspect defensively, so I like him sliding into boldy’s spot. If they had a bottom 6 spot open it would have probably been Khaira or Vinnie. Walker and Rossi have had some good PP chemistry in Iowa so maybe he ends up on the 2nd unit as well.

Damn finally, every time they had Walker up last year it looked like he had the stuff. I’m a little miffed it took this long.
