#fact.
It is very difficult to play on the right side as a left handed shot. Good luck getting out of your d-zone. PP is a lesser concern, it's much more common to have a right handed forward play on the point on the powerplay.
Trading Wideman means that McBain gets all of those D-zone faceoff starts. I don't think he's good enough to do that job.
Calgary tried this already in 2009. You need legit Right handed defensemen. This is exactly why I hated losing Sarich.
