Flyers Recall Gustafsson, Send Walker Back to Minors
The Flyers announced this afternoon that rookie defenseman Erik Gustafsson has been recalled while defenseman Matt Walker, who cleared waivers last week, will be sent to the Adirondack Phantoms.
It’s a roster move that was really a question of “when” it would take place, rather than “if.” Walker did not look particularly steady in his four [...]

Bill Meltzer: Meltzer's Musings: 1/28/11
In my opinion, the Flyers made the right move in waiving defenseman Matt Walker. The move frees up salary space to potentially make a move at the trade deadline. Walker, who is now recovered from hip surgery, also needs playing time, and he wasn't about to crack the Flyers' top six the rest of this season barring injury.
Is he a better option than Oskars Bartulis? Marginally...

Flyers waive Walker, trade on the horizon?
Earlier today the Flyers waived defensemen Matt Walker and collected his $1.7 million dollar salary toward the cap.

Sure, we - the fans - know of him. But if a person who casually follows this team saw him on the ice tonight, they'd probably be hard-pressed to say who he is or where he came from. Defensemen Matt Walker basically came out of nowhere tonight to take over the 6th defensive paring spot alongside Sean O'Donnell and while he played alright for not playing a game all friggin...

Flyers news and notes, trade rumors
- Flyers defenseman Matt Walker returned to practice Monday. Walker, recovering from hip surgery, returned for the first time without wearing a non-contact jersey. Walker was acquired during the off-season from the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Simon Gagne deal.
Walker’s return helps bolster the blue-line, but also makes it a bit crowded. The odd man out could be Oscar Bartulis...
