Already Morrison Nadakal and Kanzig are being thrown into the mix forcing some decisions on d-men who were supposed to have a reasonable chance to make it to the NHL
I got the overall impression that Wotherspoon was read the riot act at the end of season reviews and was told that if he was going to make it it would be in 2015-16.

Kulak and Culkin just played their 1st pro seasons. They have more time.
It's make or break season for Wotherspoon, otherwise he'll soon be forgotten like Max Reinhart.
Sieloff needs to stay healthy otherwise he won't be getting another contract. Ramage is likely our AHL captain in couple of years.
With or without these guys we knew we had to bring in more defensive prospects; management and fans both recognized.
So not sure how the new drafted prospects are closing the window on the previous guys. New guys are still couple years away from turning pro even.
