Anyone who can play 20 plus minutes and has over 300 games played in the NHL has got to be better than what Wideman brings. If this gets Wideman in the press box, then I couldn't be happier. I can't stand watching his lack luster effort and boneheaded plays anymore. I cringe every single time he is on the ice. I was never a Wideman hater, but this year is just so bad he has got to go. I feel so bad for anyone who has to partner with him, it must be so frustrating. You probably love the guy as a teammate (as the person he is off the ice) but when you have to play with him this year, the guys have got to wonder what the coaches are thinking at this point in the season.
I haven't really seen Stone play, but from what I have read I think he has to be an upgrade at this point. He is still young and hopefully his injury last season isn't still affecting him. My only fear is this could turn out to be a Jokipakka type deal too, ie not as exciting as we though. We will see.
Good move by BT again, the salary retained is pretty good for what we had to give up.
Yrebmi, those are some interesting stats...what about advanced stats and defensive stats?
