The fact that wotherspoon was qualified, leads me to believe he will be given a chance to push for a spot, (not to mention some of the usual suspects in the farm like culkin, kulak, etc).
giordano - brodie
hamilton - jokipakka
wideman - engelland
wotherspoon
LTIR (meh, assume as much at this stage): Smid
i don't see how we fit another dman, unless we cut bait with wideman, which i thought was an inevitability this offseason.

How is Jokipakka's injury situation? Last blurbs were that while the Flames were glad he was picked for the Team Finland he likely wouldn't be ready for the World cup.
For the expansion draft the Flames have to expose 1 d-man with 40/70 games under contract for 2017-18.... so far the list of candidates is Gio, Hamilton and Brodie.
Jokipakka would be the candidate, provided he plays 2 games AND is extended. Would Wotherspoon play more than 40 games? Look for him getting a 2 year deal, so he would be eligible to be exposed to the draft.
