Default Smid to IR; Potter recalled (Dec 26/14)

Wes Gilbertson ‏@SUNGilbertson 16m16 minutes ago
#Flames have placed D Ladislav Smid on injured reserve. No word yet on a callup.


Have to think its either Wotherspoon or Potter coming up.

Fair warning to Flames forwards: Wotherspoon learned how to unleash his cannon of a shot. Might want to get the hell out of the way of it.

Call up probably depends on what they want to do. If Diaz is going to play then I would guess it would be Potter coming up to sit in the pressbox. If the call-up is going to play.. probably Wotherspoon.

So much more interested in Wotherspoon coming up than Potter.

AHL Website is showing Potter has been recalled by the Flames.

As a #7 guy, recalling Potter over Wotherspoon makes sense.

I'll update the thread title.

Was hoping for Wotherspoon, I thought he looked very good in his limited time up last season. Oh well, Potter does make some sense.

Any word on any discipline for Despres?

Wotherspoon is a huge part of Adirondack's defence playing regular shifts, PP and PK. If the purpose of this callup was to be a warm body in case of another defenceman getting injured/fatigued, it's far better to leave Wotherspoon in Adirondack where he's going to be playing tons of minutes.

Again, AHL doesn't release TOI stats, but I'd have to imagine he's Top 3 in ice time each night, if not top TOI. He's always out there.

I was hoping it would be Wotherspoon, but let's see what Potter can do!

Nothing yet.

Better hear something soon, that was obviously worth at least one game.

I'd rather have Wotherspoon playing than Diaz, who will probably get the starts.

Well, one thing is for sure, if Potter shows something with us, he is in with a decent shout of saying up. Wonder if he draws straight in for tomorrow, or if they will just roll with Diaz and Engelland?

Hopefully Potter plays well and forces the Flames to put Diaz on waivers when Smid comes back.
