He's 2 points away from team lead. Yes, he's made mistakes but he's an offensive defenseman and has been one of the consistent offensive threats. He's getting less criticism because he's serving a purpose, and sure probably abit because he's the shiny new toy.
Would we love to see him playing amazingly defensively? Duh, but if he's not at the very least he's an offensive defenseman who's good offensively. This is a team full of centers who aren't centers, scoring wingers who can't score, defensive defenseman who aren't good defensively, fourth line gritty forwards who aren't gritty and goalies who don't stop pucks. Wideman's one of the few players who's at least good at what he's suppose to be good at.
