i think you'd see that Wideman fits well within that span, or if he doesn't, he'd be well within a #4.
It blows me away that some on here want to give him the title of #5 dman. This from the same group that claimed Butler was a #4 or 5.

On this team as it's constructed, Wideman is definitely a 3/4. And he has done an excellent job to this point.
On a Stanley Cup team, Dennis Wideman is not going to be the third or fourth best D. If he is, our defensive depth I isn't good enough to win it all.
And Butler is a true #7. I'd take him over Diaz. That's it.
