I like Wotherspoon. Maybe his ceiling is low, but I think he will make a nice 'defensive minded' partner for a more offensive defencemen.

I agree, we shouldn't put Wotherspoon on the protected list anymore. I'd like to see him go to another team to succeed. Another Baertchi situation here... Calgary hated this guy. He's now tied with Daniel Sedin for 3rd on team scoring, he's the second top +/- on the team at 4, 4 game winning goals. Yeah, what a crappy player.
