Honest question though, if we are judging him solely on his play this season which by all accounts has been putrid, how on earth do you see him being a better option than even a pylon at this point, let alone a solid young d-man?

I'm not a Wideman lover. In fact, look at one of my first posts on this board, he was my least favourite Flame. But, judging him solely on his play, he's played better than Kulak and Kevin. Wideman is not good, but he's not as bad as the hyperbole here either. With Stone and Bart in, he was where he should have been. With a slot open, he's the next best option. Anderson is completely untested at the NHL level and the Flames are in a PO battle. You go with the vet at this point.
