The only issue is Engelland's shelf life at 34 (compared to 28 year old Alzer).

If a RH quality defenceman can't be obtained in-season, play Wideman bottom pairing for a while, trade him for a pick of some sort (which I still think he gets), give Andersson a shot on bottom pairing right side for the remainder of the year.
