I ought Wotherspoon never got a chance in a role suited to him as a stay at home guy. He was always paired with an Engelland or Smid when he should have played with a partner that can skate, break the puck out, play tight in neutral ice. The best hockey he ever played came at the tail end of 2015-16 on a pair with Jakub Nakladal and he certainly looked like an NHLer at that time. As long as we kept signing guys like Stone, Engelland, now Prout, it wasn't going to work for him. He could find success as the "Ian Cole" on a pair with his "Justin Schultz" IMO.
