On Morrison's profile you describe him as being in the race for the #6/7 spot.
Is the suggestion that one will replace Engellend? I'm very curious in your predictions. Exciting if true.

I think it will be a 4 way race between Nakladal, Wotherspoon, Morrison, and Engelland for the 6th and 7th spots. I would expect Engelland to be at very least to be the #7.
It all depends on how Spoon and Morrison do in the preseason. If they progress and look good, one of them will win the spot. If they both perform poorly then Nakladal will be the #7.
I am expecting Wotherspoon to take the spot after the challenge thrown at him by the staff, but Morrison will be right there to fight for one as well.
I wouldn't actually be shocked if the Flames eventually move both Russell and Wideman to allow the younger guys some room to grow. I doubt it would be this year though. All of Kulak, Culkin, Wotherspoon, Morrison and Hickey will be pushing for spots in the immediate future. Might be a way to save some $ to afford extensions for Hudler/Gio + others.
