What GRC says: 2008-09: Making his third go-round with the Griffins, Walsh really turned some heads with his responsible, energetic play. A physical player who likes to hit, he was brought in for some size and energy on the wing. He ended up staying for several weeks, producing 3 goals in limited ice time. Walsh was much improved over his last stint in the AHL, playing well defensively and not getting out of position as much. Though he didn't dress, he was recalled for the playoffs, perhaps the harbinger of another contract next season.
2007-08: Walsh was brought in to provide some energy and a physical presence, and did a good job of that until he became a defensive liability and was eventually dispatched to the ECHL for more seasoning.
2006-07: Walsh continues to make a name for himself in the ECHL with his improved play. He posted 11-6-6-12-10 in February, his best month of the season, including his first pro hat trick. The young power forward should be able to turn a strong finish into an AHL job next season.
2005-06: A budding young power forward, Walsh has the skills to be an impact player. The question will be whether he can make the team out of training camp with so much competition up front. |
