Ah yes, I forgot about that. I was just looking at the games played stats, so he didn't show up on there. He was up for 4 games (when the team was playing terribly), and didn't see any game action.
I don't think the same thing will happen this time around. Nakladal has been playing well in Stockton and the Flames need to see what they've got in him (and either turn him into trade bait, or convince him to re-sign for next season).
With Wotherspoon last season, from what I remember, the plan was to play him, but Hartley sat him the first game (which is standard) and Diaz and Engelland had a solid game together so Hartley didn't want to break them up. When it was clear that Wotherspoon wasn't likely to draw in very often, they sent him down and brought up Potter(?) to be the press box boy.
