Wotherspoon plays a safe, reliable game. While it is true that he doesn't have a 'strength' like some others do in terms of offence, or physicality/mean streak, or something of the like, I think there is something to be said of defencemen that play a smooth, reliable defensive game. He moves the puck well also, which is almost a requirement of defencemen in the NHL.
I like Wotherspoon. Maybe his ceiling is low, but I think he will make a nice 'defensive minded' partner for a more offensive defencemen.
