IMO WIdeman should only come into line-up if there is an injury.

I missed the last couple games due to having to work, but from people were saying, the Flames were terrible in both. Wideman might inject some life into the PP. He's great at getting quality shots on net from the point. He has 2 PP goals and has only played on the PP in 6 games.
I didn't think Widemand and Gio were too bad together, and Brodie and Engelland always play well together. I agree he's not great defensively, but he's not as bad as people are making him out to be. He was good enough to be in their top 4 in 14/15.
