He seems like a Jekyll and Hyde type of prospect - really good solid stretches that makes you think he is nearly NHL ready, and then long stretches where you wonder if he is even AHL capable. I hope he has ironed out those poor stretches now and has a nice supply of confidence, as he has some really nice tools.
You have to assume that Wotherspoon might be the last cut due to his waiver status this season, but maybe the Flames will try to sneak him down. He hasn't looked bad at all - he has remained 'unnoticeable', and that is what you want from that type of a defencemen. Kulak has looked better I thought, but Wotherspoon has been very steady. Probably the most 'steady' defensive prospect out there I think in terms of defence and lack of errors.

Wotherspoon always looks pretty steady. I'm not saying he's great but he never looks like he's in over his head. It's why it's strange that Hartley kept him in the press box for a fair bit last season. Maybe he's not a great locker room guy but I don't really know why this team flirts with paying mediocre defensemen like Russell millions when they can have this kid in their top 7 making way less than free agent money.
