He's still a billion times better than Wideman.

Neither are all that good. Slow decision making, getting hemmed in his own zone, horrible defensive coverage... Gets blown by twice a period. Always looks confused as hell with the puck on his stick when he's behind the net. Wouldn't mind him as a #7, but I pray he isn't taking a regular shift next season.
