I think part of the reason player development jumped last year was because there was a couple of spots on the roster free of veterans and dangled in front of these kids. I want to see it again

If addthe team adds a Del Zotto, while removing Wideman which I would expect to happen if MDZ is signed, there would still be a spot available for Wotherspoon he would just have to outplay Englland to earn that 6th spot and move Englland to the 7th spot.
I like Wotherspoon going forward but unless he has taken big steps in the offseason I would prefer he spend a larger portion of the season on the top pairing in the AHL getting a lot of ice time in different situations than playing 10 minutes on a bad team in the NHL.
