I think Anderson and Wotherspoon have been the most dependable so far this camp.
But for Anderson, development is more important than having an NHL role. For him, it's either #6 of AHL.
Bartkowski has not been good. For him, it's either #7 or nothing. Will not develop.
Kulak also hasn't been good, but he has more of a track record. I could see him continuing to compete for that 6/7 spot with Wotherspoon.
Kylington has been solid, but I don't think he play style is suitable for the 6/7 role. It's better for him to develop in the AHL with lots of playing time.
Valimaki has been good, but not good enough to keep him up. No hurry to rush him.
