Well that depends. I can think of a few defencemen (Giordano, Pardy) who started out playing 7th defenceman and with Wotherspoons ability to be sent up and down with no problems he can be sent down for a few games if he isn't getting a playing opportunity. I could see him replacing Smid, Engelland, Wideman or Russell on a rotating basis.
You are also not considering injuries and if you don't want a prospect like Granlund as an extra forward, name a vet that we have that will replace him. Granlund could be sent up and down to get playing time if needed as well.
