Nathan Walker’s crazy journey to find a new NHL team *may* finally be over where it all started.
After being put on waivers by the Capitals, claimed by Edmonton, and put back on waivers again three weeks later, the popular Australian forward was re-claimed by the Capitals Wednesday and found himself in Arizona the very next day for Caps practice.
Check out that smile. Nathan is all of us.
