Wideman's minutes should be limited, but I would be pushing Brodie to the limits. I can see Brodie leading the league in TOI by end of the season... well if we want to win he should be!

I think it's more about keeping Russel and Wideman together for consistency's sake. They've been playing together all year and can make a large difference in knowing where your partner is/what he is going to do.
Really the D situation is just not optimal. Missing our MVP calibre Dman is going to hurt no matter who you put with who.
