People just like what's shiny and new. Yes we are deeper than we were 2 years ago but this is still a guy that played top minutes in the AHL last year. He doesn't get credit anymore because he hasn't surprised anyone or he isn't a new draft pick. He's not flashy, he's just a steady boring defenseman that has been in the organization a little while now so he doesn't get the attention. Wotherspoon is still one of the front runners for an NHL job this year and IMO is close to a sure thing with 2 injuries on the blueline.
