Wotherspoon just needs to be more assertive out there. I do think he has an NHL future. What I notice about him is that he takes time to 'warm up' in a way. Can't disagree at all with the Flames sending him down, but at the same time I hope (and anticipate) that he doesn't get claimed as I think he will be fine in an injury call-up, and if it lasts long enough, I bet he gets better.
It won't be a huge loss either way, but Wotherspoon will help to provide depth for the year, and that's a good thing to have in your D.
