He had some major gaffs when he had to do too much defensive work but he's not a bad defensemen. People just go straight to extremes with everything these days so keep that in mind as you read.
Yea.
This post?
Don't believe this post, OP.
I think I almost died about 48 times while watching this team in the playoffs, because I would have to hold my breath during a Wideman-Sarge pairing shift and for once, it wasnt because of Sarge...
And I'm not afraid to rip on this team for a bad personnel move...
Every time time I see this thread title, I start laughing.
Sure with hyper inflation I see around me, this deal may be a steal 3 years from now, but everyone deserves a new chance after a change of scenery (again ), so lets wait and see what the flames fans think
my take on this player, and his play in his own end seems to differ from many....
his problems, in general, are turnovers. Not in the typical way where he coughs it up in the corner or under pressure....more often than not its making a pass that he should not be making....up the middle, through a defender, that sort of thing. He seems to do that a lot too
I think its a decent move for the flames...a lot of $$$ but thats the price I guess

This is not one of them.
I wasn't speaking to it being a bad move for the Caps. The Caps don't need him, certainly not at that term/price. But that isn't the topic. The OP is asking how good or bad the player is and Wideman is top 4 caliber on many other NHL teams. I can see him improving Calgary's game.

...48 times? That's some serious drama.
True. How many shifts did he have in the playoffs? I was being conservative.
