Does anyone look ready on defence? Haven't heard anything about Wotherspoon...

Wotherspoon is just steady. I think he's a darkhorse to make the team but it makes more sense for him to start in the AHL.
On defense our most NHL ready prospects weren't attending this development camp. Those are Cundari and Breen.
Up front I think Horak and Knight have the best chance of cracking the lineup followed by Monahan. Monahan looks like he could be NHL ready pretty quick here. Reinhart I think needs to start in the AHL and get his offensive confidence back. Granlund is an interesting case as he's got an NHL shot, some nice skill but his size is average and his skating isn't going to blow you away. Conroy seemed to think Granlund could compete this year for a spot and he has played two years pro hockey already.
