Coburn's value is well above Wideman's. A 1st for him would be a solid return. Even Brent Burns was 2nd in Dman scoring, neither of these guys has contenders salivating unless they fill a distinct organizational need. Guys like Wideman and Burns are not as valuable as worst scoring, better two-way guys like Coburn, Vlasic, and Hjalmarsson.
