I also wouldn't mind seeing Engelland being given some more ice time on the second pair with Brodie. The whole thing is working with what we've got, especially in crunch time as the playoffs get closer, and even more so if we can't land a middle pair guy of some kind around the deadline. Engelland is decidedly better defensively than Wideman (his offensive instincts are arguably better than Wideman too at this point, as he'll make a smart play rather than blasting the puck at a guy's shins two thirds of the time). Engelland doesn't need to put up points, that's what Brodie would do, so it only makes sense having a solid stay at home guy with him allowing him more offensive freedom, something that Brodie thus far hasn't had a whole lot of chance to do, playing with Wideman. I simply don't feel comfortable having Wideman getting that much ice time should we make the playoffs, perhaps he could step his game up a gear again in the playoffs, but I don't see much suggesting that he could.
