At age 22 Jokipakka had zero NHL games playing the full year in the AHL.... Dallas called up young AHL D-men Nemeth, Olesiak and Gaunce and left Jokipakka in the AHL.
Wotherspoon has had 21 NHL games plus 6 playoff games so far and should get some more in the Flames tanking phase.
I really hope that Wotherspoon is given a chance to fail in the Flames last 19 games..... Let him play 20 minutes/game with Brodie, Gio or even Hamilton for 5 games in a row.
Same opportunity should be given to Jokipakki before he somehow is gifted the #4 slot because he is the shiny new thing.
