Odds are he won't dress tonightGood for Wotherspoon. With Smid, Russell, and Wideman out, odds are good he'll get more than two shifts tonight.

Hamilton - Engelland
Nakladal - Wotherspoon
Might be make or break for Tyler. Hope he has a good game.
So what was everyone's thoughts on his performance tonight ?

Same as always, he will have a tough time because he has a quiet game, you don't notice him unless he makes a mistake for the most part. He is hte Matt Stajan of defensemen.So what was everyone's thoughts on his performance tonight ?
He skated.So what was everyone's thoughts on his performance tonight ?
Offensively, tried to get a few pucks through, had a solid pinch as well IIRC
Defensively, looked a lot more under control than the forwards in front of him (I think he saw a lot of time with the Stajan line).
His best play was a Regehr-esque stand-up at the left blue line, if he can play that game that's something we could use.

He was fine which isn't necessarily a bad thing but he didn't do anything great or to stand out.
I thought he looked a lot better than Nakladal overall but Nakladal has a big shot so he tends to stand out more to fans who like that flash.
Agreed. He was definitely much more physical than the other D. A breath of fresh air. If he indeed could be a Regehr-lite, that would be great.
Change all the trade proposals! We keeping the guy for now!

this is a good assessment of him Volica.If he makes it as an NHL regular it's going to be like a less mean Cory Sarich. You don't notice him much; and he'll play for 15-16 minutes a night.
Play a stay at home game, make a smart first pass. Like his game isn't going to PK and Brodie your mind, if he just keeps it simple and uses his size, he'll be an NHL depth dman.
