Wotherspoon is looking at the best situation a young defenseman can be in during training camp. One of the top guys is out for a few weeks, another NHL defenseman is still going to be on IR for some time and possibly one of his competitors for a spot was injured yesterday too. If he can't win a spot in this situation, then it's time to worry. He's still young and far from a bust if he fails to make it, but if he can't beat out a couple of guys on PTOs and younger prospects, then I have my doubts that he'll be a regular NHLer any time soon.
