I think that's a load of BS. "People like what's shiny and new" so people like Dougie Hamilton over Engelland just because he's new? No, they like him because he's better. People like guys like Nakladal, Morrison and a few others over Wotherspoon because they've shown they've improved their game. Last season, Wotherspoon was average at best, you'd think that if he wanted a serious shot at the NHL and to be considered more than just a 6-7 guy that he would have improved noticeably. He didn't. People are picking other guys over Wotherspoon because those other guys are showing more.

I'm sure Wotherspoon will be decent in the future but right now he's incredibly average and that's why people have him so down the depth chart.
