That's Oilers style career destroying development tactic. Hell, half of you are really outspoken on how much of a trainwreck the Oilers are for doing that.
So why do you want to put Rasmus in that position?
You shelter Rasmus' minutes. You play the veteran and challenge him to perform and eat up minutes with smart hockey.

Yeah, but Wideman shouldn't be getting 20 minutes a night either. You have to shelter Wideman just as much as Andersson.
I'll take Wideman's experience in the playoffs in a sheltered role, but that's about the only advantage he has on Andersson at this point, and I haven't even see Andersson play more than a period or two.
