As one of the top defenders in the AHL, there is no way the Flames don't offer him a contract, likely a 1-way deal.
It's up to Wotherspoon if he thinks the Flames have earned the right to keep him. They've developed him into what he is, but he's bursting through the seams right now and this October will be the best chance of his career to land on an NHL squad full time.
If he doesn't think he's going to get there, one-way deal or not, he's going to look elsewhere.
