True. Some people are obsessed with getting max value from contracts and hate on some of the highest paid players on the team because they hold them to impossibly high standards due to their cap hit. We saw it for years with J-Bo.
I mean I'm not crazy about Wideman's deal either and wasn't at the time but he does provide some things that are hard to find (right shooter, nice point shot, good puck mover, veteran, etc.) No reason to think he'll be going anywhere and certainly no reason to dump him for nothing.
