He already spent a year in the AHL. Had a slow start, but I think by the mid-point in the season he was already a capable top 4 AHL defenseman. Not that he can't learn more in the AHL, but he looks NHL ready after his short call-up last season.
We have enough NHL veterans between the NHL and AHL. Considering our current young D-man in Brodie is already on top line duties, there is most definitely room for Wotherspoon in this line-up to start the year.
