Walker was demoted to AHL Iowa on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Walker averaged 8:38 of ice time over the last two games with the Wild in which he notched two shots, one block and a minus-1 rating. It seems the 24-year-old didn't impress the team brass enough to keep him on the NHL roster, as the Wild opted to switch Walker out for Adam Raska, who was called up in a corresponding move.

Walker was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Wednesday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Walker was able to shake off a shoulder injury from the IIHF World Championship to participate in camp, but he fell short of making the roster. The 24-year-old winger had two points in his first nine NHL games last season, so he could be an in-season call-up when the Wild are dealing with injuries.
