Excellent, I hope he can pick up where left off and be a valuable contributor to the team. I was really scared that was it for him.
I also kind of hated Flames fans who were actively hoping he couldn't make it back to get his salary off the books. I get it, we all want cap space so we can sign our best players, but there's lots of ways to gain cap space, and hoping a really good guy with a family and nothing but classy service to his organizations in his career is injured so bad that's he's done in the NHL so we can free up $3mil in space is a terrible line of thinking, imo.
Really glad to hear this, and hopefully he's good to go. If he's back to good health I'd be comfortable with him as the 6th/7th defenseman. I'd like to see Wotherspoon with more time in the AHL anyways.
