I think it's pretty much always good asset management to sign a UFA to replace a comparable player on contract who can be traded for futures. I'm not sure what we could trade Wideman for, but if it's even something like a couple seconds, it's great from an asset perspective for our #5 DMan. Then we can do it again with Franson a few years down the line if we want/have to and another UFA becomes available.
