Walton Bids Bruins Farewell to Join Minnesota Saints
Mike Walton left the Boston Bruins to sign with the Minnesota Fighting Saints of the World Hockey Association. The deal reportedly guarantees at least 440000 over three years, with Walton eyeing a return at 31. Saints GM Glen Sonmor and coach Harry Neal lauded the move as a key addition while Bruins officials cited salary limits. Walton, who had 25 goals and 22 assists last season and survived a glass door accident, began his NHL career with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1966.
