Walker is Canada's 23rd man

Walker is a quite good choice,IMO. As I know, besides his another assets,he has a great speed, right?

Yes, outside of Legwand he might be our fastest.

Darn right,Walker's got the wheels to pursue.He can be a big player for us in the next month.But he's gonna be pursuing for us up here thank God.

Just curious, but do people think there's a chance that Fisher could play in place of either Walker or Maltby? I'm not trying to say who's a better player than who, and the whole experience could just be strategized as a confidence-builder/future consideration thing for Fisher, but he played quite well for Zug in Switzerland this year (very comparable scoring pace to Thornton and Nash), and I'm wondering if the fact that he's been playing professionally might give him an edge over some of the "lesser" established players, if only in terms of conditioning and preparedness.

Projected lines from TSN:

Smyth-Thornton-Nash
Gagne-Morrison-Heatley
Marleau-Draper-Doan
Morrow-Fisher-Maltby

Draper and Maltby in a different line? Otherwise there I'm not too surprised. I think that Thornton and Nash will be in the same line as they have played season together.
