Prospect Info: C Kieron Walton #187 2024 NHL Draft

[Bender Duster]

I've been thinking for a while that if he's the next one that doesn't want to sign here, some people will have some serious backtracking to do.

Speaking of signing, I see He now has but Walton hasn't. Could there be trouble in paradise?

Makes sense to sign the guy picked earlier in the draft first, no?

Maybe

Most of his weaknesses are actually things that are easier to fix and his strengths actually indicate he has a much higher floor than one would think. A big guy who still needs to grow into his body and use it effectively is a great sign.

Are “rage pills” a thing? Might fix the lack of aggression.

There is testosterone replacement therapy, but not sure I'd recommend that without a doc.

Walton's goal was nice and all, but can we talk about the forward he skates past at the redline who inexplicably turns up the ice away from where the puck is going as soon as Walton skates past him?

Ok this if funny because I was going to post about it.

F1 decides to skate at Walton? F2 is coming off the boards almost like possibly coming on from a line change, then F3 is skating across the ice towards his bench like he is either coming out of the box to the bench or he is picking a really shitty time for a line change. Once the forwards totally break down you can see the D man go “oh shit” and he tries to start skating backwards but its too little too late.

That is a really nice rush by Walton but the D is about as effective as a group of fighters in an action movies waiting in line to be killed by the solo Marshall arts master.
