There may not be any easily defined separation between those guys. Any of them could see NHL time and third pairing AHL time.

I'm almost positive it will mandated from above that Wotherspoon and Nakladal get ample playing time because they'll be the first call-ups if one of the Flames defencemen go down.
Morrison and Culkin are the PP specialists without a doubt, although Wotherspoon developed quite the cannon out of nowhere last season. If last night was any indication, Kulak will see a lot of playing time as well.
Wouldn't surprise me to see Nakladal-Wotherspoon, Culkin-Kulak as the top-4. Morrison is still a rookie, so he should be treated like one at least to start the season. Him on the bottom pairing with Sieloff would work nicely.
