Using the Force

When your name is Luke Walker then you can expect people to use a bunch of corny nicknames when you play well. A night where you have 2 goals and an assist is a good example but as we said before the Traverse City tournament, Walker is someone we were rooting for.

6'2 175 coming off a good season on a bad team, Walker is on a tryout basis with the Ranger prospects. Overall 2-2-4 so far after 3 games one has to wonder if it will be enough to earn Walker a trip to New York and the Ranger's training camp.

The problem that we see at the moment is that the Rangers can not send a Walker to Hartford because he is only 19. Then toss in that the Rangers are very close to their 50 contract limit so while Walker is deserving of a closer look the Rangers are basically handcuffed.
