Walker is certainly intriguing, but ultimately I think there's too much uncertainty in what you're getting with him coming off a lost season. Ottawa needs to add defensive stability to the top 4, so expecting Walker, who hasn't played those kind of minutes and has never had great defensive results, to suddenly do both after missing a full year just seems like a bet on hope rather than reason.

Is Walker any good? Would he be a capable 2nd pair guy or more of a 3rd ? What are his flaws?
Decent but has been injury prone. That being said, no more spots available for basically anybody unless :
- Veteran Top-6 Winger
- Veteran Top-4 RHD
I mean CLEAR Top-6/Top-4, not players on the fence either.

An absolutely legitimate viewpoint, and concern. But to invest a late third (I think that it's #86) doesn't seem like that much of a risk, at least to me. I think that it's a good gamble for the Sens.
Make Zaitsev disappear and I'd do it
But not only Zaitsev, there's also Del Zotto and Hamonic who have 1 year left.
As of now, Lassi Thomson and Jacob Bernard-Docker will have to wait for injuries for their next call up
They are letting Victor Mete walk as a RFA (young, cheap, very fast and was good at zone exits prior to this year)
There's just no spots. The only spots would be for clear upgrades in the Top-6 or Top-4. That's what needs to happen
