Wideman is a standard average 3rd/4th defenseman in his own end. Alright, albeit unspectacular. He usually makes the safe standard play and only occasionally makes a bad decision, or is out of position. He's not more prone to mistakes than any typical 2nd pairing guy, because if they were better defensively they'd be shutdown 1st pairing guys instead. An average 2nd pairing guy gets paid around 2.5-3 million. He gets an additional 2.75 million per year because he can put up 50 points instead of 15 or so, which is fair.
