Elite prospects describe him as:
Vision and puck skills drive Walton’s game. He’s a skilled passer, capable of slipping pucks underneath defender’s sticks to open teammates driving the net. Whether he’s deking through defenders or knocking down tricky passes, he uses his full reach to handle the puck and make the next play.

Ranked #76 by THN/FERRARI
Ranked #189 by MCKEEN’S HOCKEY
Ranked #129 by FCHOCKEY
