Going to be so interesting to watch his development path. Last year watching him at the U I would’ve said no way is he an nhl player but now it seems like he’s got a shotI have liked him, lots of speed and he is executing very well up and down the ice, good stick work and makes the right play, looks like he could stick if he continues to play like this.
I want to see if he and Boldy can get something going. Sammy has always been an offensive player, and IMO, Gaudreau is at his best when he is the defensive guy on the line, so he can back up Boldy and Walker while they take risks to score goalz.Really pumped to see what Walker could end up being. Looks like he belongs
I think he has a chance to be Boldy’s best linemate this season, but that’s still a disservice to bolds. We need a guy that can put up .5ppg at least across from Boldy. With Walker, the line didn’t look totally neutered. With another high skill guy, Boldy could transform the secondary scoring on the team. If we’re going to lose kn the first round, we should at least do it in style.I want to see if he and Boldy can get something going.

If you want to cherry pick that way then you could also pick out plenty of good and cerebral plays he made throughout the night. Him moving his feet and drawing a penalty, that in turn lead to the Boldy PPG was more than Petan has contributed. Low bar… but the “if” game can be played to any degree one desires.Walker was okay. A bad turnover in the d-zone. Taking out Boldy on a rush that turned into a 5-3 the other way (his breakaway was after that) . If they score on those then the story on Walker changes.
Walker's skillset is somewhat similar to Fiala's, but he is much less talented, obviously. It's unfair to him to expect him to be anywhere near what Fiala was. I do think that he might be able to be a .5 PPG player in the NHL , given a little luck, but it's hard to say. Still really early days.I think he has a chance to be Boldy’s best linemate this season, but that’s still a disservice to bolds. We need a guy that can put up .5ppg at least across from Boldy.

i thought both teams played hard , i don't understand why the nucker fans would boo that effort.That was a satisfying W. Hearing the boo birds is great

Look for Fleury to start the next game
