I don't have a hate on for the guy and would rather have him at $1.5M than Wideman at $5.25M. Having said that it doesn't look like there is room for him and I quoted the post that suggest keeping him over Wotherspoon would be the right call. Give me the 23 year old every day who I still think could be a solid 4-5 for the Flames as soon as next year.
I am indifferent on Wotherspoon. Since he's young, fine, see what he becomes, might as well roll the die. But long term I think he will be quickly passed by guys like Kulak, Hickey, Ollas-Mattsson, and Kylington, and short term I think a bottom four D of Jokipakka, Nakladal, Wideman, Wotherspoon in that order would be the best NHL depth chart, but I don't know how to get rid of Smid or Engelland.
