That’s alot of money for a slow defenseman. But hey Chara makes $7.5m so what do I know.....
Posted by kevin from boston on 07/22 at 09:24 AMHe is not worth anything near that figure. What the hell is going on? Little wonder Boston is near the cap.
haha, I wonder how many times Finger and Wideman appear in the allstar game, have a +20 +/-, or record - say - 40 or so points over each season of their contracts. Never? yeahhhh
Posted by underthechestnuttree from LaSalle, Ontario, Canada on 07/22 at 10:39 AMI believe Boston is over the cap with the Wideman deal.
Posted by Jaci from Boston on 07/22 at 01:02 PMWideman will get 40 points. He had 13 goals last year. He’s just not a bruiser or a great skater so he will never be an elite defenseman but he is still a good player.

I know he’s a great player but I don’t think I will ever remember him for anything more than that shootout fiasco. Go to youtube and look up “Wideman goes wide”...no matter how many times I watch it, it always makes me laugh.
