True. Again I agree but he is older. Doesn't skate well. Coming off a career season which he probably will never come close to again. 5.25 for wideman isn't horrible. But 5.25 for arguably our 5th best defenceman when we need to sign mony and Johnny this off season is pretty bad.
I can't see wideman here to start next season. It's just due to the numbers. He's been a great servant. This has nothing to do with e mass hysteria lately. I'm actually pretty confident this team will bounce back and finish just out of the playoffs. There's nothing wrong with missing the playoffs in year 3 of a rebuild in a tough conference and division both of which are much improved this season.
