Throw Kulak with Brodie and you've got a very solid top-4 on defense.

Honestly, I think Wideman has been decent. He's not a top 4 defenceman.
The fact is that the Flames are only 3 deep on the blueline. It's an area that they have to upgrade, they need another top 4 defenceman, but they also can't acquire him until after the expansion draft.
You could argue Engelland is a better partner for Brodie, but then you leave Wideman with Jokipakka which would be a nightmare.
