From our prospect regular season roundup this is what Walton did in his first year as an NHL drafted player:
No prospect has caught folks attention quite like the Toronto product has this season. He had 43 points in 65 games for Sudbury last season and this year he demolished those totals. He had 38G 54A for 92 points in 66 games. He saw his points per game jump from 0.66 to 1.39. He finished with the most points of any Jets prospect in the league ending up 9th overall in the OHL. He was also 3rd overall in shots taken.
Walton, who signed his ELC with the Jets on Sunday (which was confirmed today), has signed an ATO and will join the Moose for their final couple of weeks of the AHL season to get a taste of the pro game.
He's closing in on his first game since January 13th.
The 2024 2nd rounder is in Winnipeg where he'll spend the rest of the season…
