Wotherspoon could be a viable defenceman in for the Flames and quite possibly a good option if Smid will be out long time and Harley is willing to bench Diaz and Engelland over him. If he isn't going to play every night or at least every other night, leave him in Adirondack to develop.
Culkin is not a solution right now on defence. Same thing as Poirier, he's got 23 professional games and that's all. Yes, he's doing well in Adirondack but same thing as Poirier, he's not that experienced at this level. Maybe bring him up for a game or two and let him take a look, but if you want someone to be 3rd pairing and a little more seasoned and a little less mistake making, you need to get Billins or Cundari on the phone. Not Culkin.

I understand what you are saying and you are worried he might end up like Baertschi who was rushed in too early, but I only said to bring him up for a few games to see where he is at and only if Byron was indeed playing injured.
