Relatively unearned compared to what the forwards have to beat out
Having Granlund and Ferland and Jooris and Byron on the forward bubble when 2 of these 4 are in line to get a roster spot by default is the point I was attempting to make.
Arnold had as good or better development year as Wotherspoon but right now Arnold would have to be pretty well the best forward in camp in the exhibition series (if he get a spot it would be earned) and Wotherspoon just basically has got to not look too far out of place and he is a Flame (unearned)
