Wotherspoon has never lived up to his potential and has had plenty of opportunity to claim a regular spot. I'd say he's one more shot away from it being his last. They can't continue to wait and hope he finally gets there with the amount of depth behind him.
Kulak in my opinion had a great camp and was very steady and reliable in his call-up last year and was surprised he was sent back down, although I was happy with Nakladal's play so wasn't depressed about it. Just seems to be a better option to me and I feel he'll be the first in line for the next open roster spot.
Shinkaruk has to have shown enough at the end of last year that if he doesn't have a rough camp he'll get more NHL time.
But the better question is what have you seen out of Wotherspoon that you think he's likely to hold down a spot?
