Since being drafted in 2011, Tyler Wotherspoon has traversed the prospect spectrum from being one of the ones to keep an eye out for to afterthought. We ranked him #8 in our prospect countdown in 2015. Now? We probably wouldn’t be that generous.
Wotherspoon has always been right in that tweener zone but has never been able to escape it. Aside from an eye-popping debut in 2013-14, we haven’t seen much of the big defender, and the Flames face a decision on him this upcoming offseason.
So what happens next?
Brief history
Wotherspoon has been one of the Flames’ high up defensive prospects since he was drafted.
