I think it's a little too early to call Wotherspoon a bad pick at that spot. In The Hockey News mock draft he was expected to go at #44. NHL Central Scouting had him at #50, while some mock drafts had him going in the low-100's (#110 and #108). The Flames took him at #57.

I have no doubt he's going to be a project, but right now he's progressing nicely.
