Good post. I agree with most of what you have said here.
Wotherspoon and Culkin are good skaters and both more clearly fit the mould of this team which is based on speed. Some clarification to my point: I think that both would likely be fine in the NHL, but I am not convinced the team is better served in the long run by this. Part of me also thinks that the best thing is still for them to keep playing big mins. and gradually improving in the AHL.
