We did hear that about Knight, but then we drafted Monahan. Then Colborne showed up on the scene. And then Granlund and Jooris outperformed him. And then Arnold turned pro and pushed him even further down the depth chart.
If the same scenario happened with Wotherspoon it would mean we somehow acquired 5 players of a similar age but who pushed him down the pecking order. It would hardly be a tragedy.
I think we'll see Wotherspoon replace Smid on the roster by the end of the season. It's great that he's in a good position to steadily develop in the AHL right now, but I do think he's ready for The Show.
