We need a strong top four which means acquiring a another top four defender, not paying someone who can't do it less money and then being okay with it.
We're trying to become a contender here, not an okay team.
So should we change our rebuild motto to "lowered expectations"?

I meant use him as a stop gap if we can't find a better option in FA or Andersson and OK show they're not ready, not as a permanent solution or even a primary one.
Anyway, this was all based on a hypothetical situation in which we trade Brodie and sign Alzner. Personally, I feel more comfortable penciling Wideman in that #4 slot than RA or OK.
