I also dont think his size helps him either as McFarland and Gilmour have obviously tried to bulk up the blueline with the addition of Graves. O'Grady is young but has good size for his age and Tessier is 5'11 but he is a strong 5'11. So I believe that aside from the current top four who are currently solidified to dress every game, Graves, Tessier and O'Grady have put themselves in a higher position leaving Watson out of the mix for now. But like I said before, Tessier got a shot at a regular shift on Monday in Mississauga with O'Grady sitting the whole game and did well with Graves. This leads me to believe that if a player is struggling than McFarland will give another guy a chance to take his spot. If things go poorly, Watson may get his chance to show McFarland he should dress.
