To be fair, I haven't seen much of the guy day to day, but a lot of Edmonton media threw out there that he wasn't very good when it came to moving the puck.
Though all of them said it was almost completely negated when you put him with a guy with strong puck moving ability, so do we think that once Gio comes back he might be better off with Wideman than Smith/Butler/SOB?
