Wideman has always been a bad skater, but age has made him completely immobile. He's not the same defenceman he was even 2 years ago.
He should only ever be on the powerplay, never on the PK or 5 on 5. And even on the powerplay, his lack of hockey IQ often puts him in bad situations.
He's just not an NHL calibre player anymore. This is his last NHL contract.
