Kylington is going to be fascinating to watch, regardless of where he goes.
Kulak showed me more last night than I have seen from him before. I would think that he will stay for now and continue to fight for that spot.
Nakladal seems almost certain to be in the 7 for opening day, IMO.
Wilson is interesting. Has shown some things, but probably needs to get ice-time in Stockton for now.
Wotherspoon got better as the game went on last night. He appears to be right where he left off last year - NHL ready, but not wowing anyone. I would think he too remains in camp and continues to fight for that temporary spot. I still believe he is the most ready of the bunch, but he needs to do something to prove it to management.
Assuming no more injuries, I think the opening night 7 is:
Giordano
Hamilton
Russell
Wideman
Engelland
Wotherspoon/Kulak
Nakladal
and Wotherspoon/Kulak go to Stockton when Brodie is back.

I think you are right on here. Only tweak is that I do think Wilson is still in the mix and I can see Nakladal playing before Witherspoon or Kulak.
