I think he'll be a good bottom 4 guy, but let's not pretend he's there already based on last year because it's factually inaccurate

Hanowski and Cundari were there in an attempt to make the Iginla and Bou trades look decent. Also to see what area's of the game needed the most improvement.
Nobody expected those two to make the team. Many fans thought Wotherspoon earned bottom pairing minutes. I haven't heard a single negative thing about the guy until you piped in just now.
