Might be looking for a goalie if Elliott or Johnson don't grab the reigns soon.
They have been trying to trade Wideman for a while now, but doesn't think they will trade Wideman until they figure out who will play with Brodie.

The more I think about it, if they are looking for an Alzner type of stay at home guy, perhaps they should give Engelland a long look on the second pairing until a younger guy comes along. Right shot, stay at home and, IMO, could put up about the same points as Alzner (around 5 goals, 20 points) with the added minutes. The only issue is Engelland's shelf life at 34 (compared to 28 year old Alzer).
If a RH quality defenceman can't be obtained in-season, play Wideman bottom pairing for a while, trade him for a pick of some sort (which I still think he gets), give Andersson a shot on bottom pairing right side for the remainder of the year.
