I'm sure that now if several guys get hurt, you could have Wotherspoon, Ortio, Sieloff, Granlund, Reinhart etc step in and look good out there.

last year we lost Glencross, Cammalleri, David Jones . Colborne, Monahan and Granlund and Rienhart and Knight stepped up and looked better than we expected. They did not look good enough to replace Glencross, Cammalleri and David Jones either in ice-time they could handle or performance.
That and having Butler take up the Gio and Wideman and Russell lost minutes is why were able to finish #26 and draft Bennett.
