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.

I wouldn't count him out. I don't think Wotherspoon was a Hartley favorite and it's possible the new coach likes him more. I actually thought he looked maybe a little better than Nakladal when they were both in the lineup.
