I imagine Wotherspoon could outplay Engelland on a lot of nights. That doesn't mean that I want him to have those minutes as opposed to a better role in Adirondack. And I do trust Hartley and his decisions on lineups. He could have put Wotherspoon in and he didn't. I would, in fact, have an issue if Treliving started dictating to Hartley what his lineup is going to be.

There's nothing wrong with a prospect playing bottom pairing minutes. He was still getting 12-15 minutes of ice time per night. It's not the same as a forward like Poirier on the 4th line getting 5-7 minutes of ice time (which nobody seems to even have exception with).
