Glad you focused on Wotherspoon today. I haven't been able to watch teh Bridgeport games lately, but he's the one D I'd be focusing on from my earlier notes on Isles' prospects. If the Isles want to get younger, and do it quickly they need to cull the herd of LHD. Parker is a kid that IMHO can come up and give them 12-14 quality minutes and most importantly he can take a shift or two on the PK. He needs to show that he has the defensive awareness at the NHL level to earn a FT job, but if they remove Chara and Greene from the roster next year they are probably going to go outside the organization for LHD unless they can get quality minutes from PW, or Robin Salo this year. I think the next guy up to be showcased needs to be Parker. Good choice, Mitch.
