What now for Tyler Wotherspoon?

For a year or two now, Tyler Wotherspoon has been the go-to option for the "why isn't X playing?" fans. You get it in all kinds of sports - why isn't the young, talented prospect playing instead of the under-performing, over-earning veteran. It's a question that held some merit last season.

Ignoring the glaringly obvious Deryk Engelland-shaped elephant in the room (Hartley likes him, folks, he's not going anywhere for a while), it seemed like the exciting kid was being overlooked for such car crashes as Ladislav Smid and Corey Potter.
