What could it hurt? It isn't like Brodie-Wideman is setting the arena on fire.
And the Flames need to start planning/preparing for Wideman's absence.

But Wideman is playing well and the team is above .500 for the first time this season. Is it really the best time to shuffle out Wideman and move Brodie to the other side to experiment with Wotherspoon to see if it'll get him to play better? I think some measure of consistency will do Brodie good, and that it isn't really the best idea to sit Wideman just because it might make Brodie play better.
Watching Brodie lately, I think his poorer play has little or nothing to do with his defense partner. Side of the ice, maybe, but I do think he's a very good player and is capable of making that adjustment eventually.
