Say what you like about Wideman, but he isn't an idiot. He knows any chance of a contract next year will likely require him to move on to a playoff contender and chip in as a powerplay specialist/6th D. I think he could find a role with another team. Even if he rides the pine, it would be a shot at a cup, which isn't too likely here.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
