[Signing] Flames sign Tyler Wotherspoon to 1 yr 2 way deal ($625k NHL, $125k AHL)

I like Nakladal but we already have 4 right defencemen. There is just not room for him unless someone goes.

If Wotherspoon played a physical game, he'd have a career as a 3rd pairing d-man. As it stands right now, I don't see him as an NHLer.

Don't mind him being signed but I would bet that he's cut loose after this season.

For what it's worth, my friend did meet Brian Burke on his plane coming back from Toronto. I know he's there visiting his family often, but he told him he was back to finish up some business. I'm guessing this will all start now...at least I hope it does.

Sorry my mistake, you are correct. It was Stempniak who was the PTO last season. Schlemko signed a 1 way 625k contract in mid September.

Still though, he wasn't a lock as our #4 Dman.
