Wotherspoon

Alcolaste
Kulak
Culkin
Ramage
I find it doubtful that Young has more potential than any of the guys listed above.
Only way it makes sense for the Flames IMO, is if Young signs an AHL deal and starts the season in the ECHL.

I guess I look at your list and see only four real prospects on d. Wotherspoon, Sieloff, Culkin and Kulak. Rampage isn't going to make it based on what we've seen so far and Cundari is short term depth or call up material. Given that we aren't strong in this position like we seem to be at F, seems prudent to stack the deck more and add to the list. We have the contract room so that's not an issue.
Another bonus is that you get a prospect that is further along in their development and might be more pro ready. No harm in sending Culkin or Kulak to Colorado to log big minutes and develop there to start.
