Eh? I think it's saying something. Wideman hasn't been that bad this year defensively, it'd even say he has been above average! I too watch quite a few ARI games and I can definitively say that Yandle has been better than OEL defensively this year. True, OEL was an absolute gong show for the first 30-40 games, but still...Yandle carried that team and has looked great. I agree we should not pay overs for a guy who ARI will demand a premium for, but lets not pretend he isn't an awesome dman.
