It's a long road to the NHL. This time last year we were marvelling at what a steal Jacob Julien looked like, but he's come back down to earth this season.
I'm not saying that will be the case for Walton, and also not saying I'm giving up on Julien. They are totally different players. Just saying it's a long road with lots of ups and downs still to come.
Brayden Yager is still our clear #1 forward prospect IMO, based on a long track record of success at every level, but that can always change.
