Matt Walker still available

After months of recovery and weeks of playing his way back into the lineup, Matt Walker remains available in Boston.

Walker, who has seen action in fifteen games for the Bruins following the devastating injury he suffered at the hands of the Detroit Red Wings on opening night this season, is averaging six minutes of ice time, three scored hits and four penalty minutes a game, playing only third line minutes (at most) for the Bruins. In nearly half of his games, Walker filled in as a fourth line defenseman, depending on the arrangement Head Coach Robbie Ftorek was putting on ice that night.

"We continue to be happy with the effort Matt puts forth on the nights we need him to," General Manager Joshua Anderson stated when asked about Walker's status with the club. "But, we also believe he deserves the opportunity to play should it be available to him. We're asking for no more than a fourth round pick for him, and depending on the club, would consider a fifth rounder."

Given the prices other teams are asking for mid-level defensemen, the general consensus in the organization is that the price seems fair.
