On June 26, 1998, Walker was claimed by the Nashville Predators in the NHL Expansion Draft.

Walker was fined $2,500 by the NHL, but not suspended, for punching Aaron Ward of the Boston Bruins during a May 10, 2009, playoff game. Ward and Hurricanes center Matt Cullen began to scuffle in front of the net when Walker skated over and punched Ward, possibly breaking a bone in his face.ESPN.com: Walker Fined for Punching Ward
