However, Wotherspoon should be in our top 7, unless he has a terrible camp.
Giordano
Brodie
Hamilton
Joki
Engelland
Wideman
Smid
Wotherspoon
Nak
So there is 9 d-men right there. If Smid can be put on LTIR and we can trade Wideman, id be all for re-signing Nak, otherwise, im not sure.

I agree that Wotherspoon is probably the most "ready" out of our defence prospects. But realistically, the chances of him making the team out of camp are relatively low. He has so many other guys to compete with, and just based on that alone, his chances of making the team are slim.
If you consider his play throughout his entire career, he probably deserves to make the team more than most other prospects do. But the Flames put quite a bit of weight on the training camp and preseason games. Someone will have the opportunity to take that spot from him. Many people will have this opportunity. Chances are, at least one other person has a fantastic camp and steals that spot from him.
