We get a whole lot of grit and a guy who fits the Hurricanes persona much better than Joe does. I like this trade alot and it just might help to ease the disappointment of seeing Cullen go. Shane Willis....hmmmm. Guess he's a depth guy who gives us some scoring punch in Albany and could be a useful call up. Good luck to him as I'm sure he'll get a good look in training camp. It has always saddened me to see the way his career tanked after the two concussions. Walker is definitely an upgrade based on Joe’s inability to play up to his size.

No, he'll be better than Cullen, if he doesn't get hurt Walker won’t be Matt Cullen? No, he’ll be better than Cullen, if he doesn’t get hurt

I think it came from out of nowhere, because Nashville was the least-likely trading partner and it seemed like Joe would at least be given through preseason to show something. But I've always liked Walks, so 's all good. Mmmmm….yesandno.

The writing has been on the wall since before he even got hurt. I think this is a good trade. Walker won't be Matt Cullen, but I think we'll like him. A lot. And bravo for getting Shane Willis. $450k is a great price on him. This, dear Acid Queen, did not come out of nowhere. The writing has been on the wall since before he even got hurt.

That we got Walker (another player I like a lot) for him is gravy. I just thought that JimR would wait until after the season started to pull the trigger, that's all.

The difference in their contracts is approximately 200K, give or take. I like this trade a lot.
