Walker has 13 regular-season games of NHL experience to his name, all coming with the Wild across 2022-23 and 2023-24. The 26-year-old notched 10 goals and 33 points over 61 AHL regular-season appearances between Iowa and Tucson in 2024-25.

Walker was traded to Utah from Minnesota for future considerations Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Walker hasn't gotten into an NHL game this season, spending the entirety of the campaign in the minors with AHL Iowa. For the minor-league club, the 25-year-old managed two goals and nine helpers across 30 contests in 2024-25. Even with the move to Utah, NHL minutes are unlikely to get any easier to come by for Walker.

Walker agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract with Minnesota on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Walker has just 13 games of NHL experience under his belt over the last two seasons, including four games during the 2023-24 campaign in which he recorded zero points, three shots and two hits. While the 25-year-old winger could get the occasional call-up this upcoming season, he will likely spend the bulk of the year in the minors with AHL Iowa.

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.
