He's still a billion times better than Wideman.

I don't think he's terrible, you're right, he's definitely playing up to the level of a 3rd pairing. I think the more appropriate question to ask is: why is he getting so much ice time? GG seems to employ a strategy of even ice time throughout his lines, but the Ducks are a clear example of overloading ice time to your top players.
