Wotherspoon’s steady decline from the organization’s top defensive prospect to a reliable farm hand has been slow, painful and tough to watch.
It’s difficult to pinpoint where things started to fall apart and it’s even harder to pinpoint why, but that doesn’t mean we can’t explore these questions in depth. He was, after all, the organization’s top ‘D’ prospect and it’s uncommon to see a fall from grace like we’ve witnessed with Tyler Wotherspoon.
A BRIEF HISTORY
It’s weird to think about, but so far the peak of Wotherspoon’s career came way back in the 2013-14 season where he played 14 games for the Flames.
