He's decidedly mediocre, if you have me. 8:02 of decent icetime where he hasn't looked out of place does not an NHL defenseman make.
There's a logjam of defenseman prospects coming up. Wotherspoon will have to prove that he's better than all of them to maintain a spot. Right now, Jokipakka does the 6/7 job just fine for this team (and better than #26), and is also pretty young. Wotherspoon will likely be out of the organization by July 1, if not sooner.
