Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2018
Wideman quietly had a nice season for Montreal in 2021-22 (4 goals, 27 points in 64 games), but his usage was way down last year in the rare instances in which he was in the lineup. He appeared in just 46 games, failing to score and managing just a half dozen assists. Now 33 years of age, Wideman is signed for one more season at a cap hit of $762K. Expect the St. Louis native to again serve as an extra rearguard for the Canadiens as the team focuses on developing its countless young defenders this year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

In jeopardy of reduced role?
Wideman will be replaced in the lineup by 2020 first-round pick Justin Barron for Wednesday's game against Tampa Bay, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Barron's been excellent in the AHL this season, racking up seven goals and 16 points through 25 games, so if he impresses Wednesday, it's possible the Canadiens will want to give him an extended look, which would likely eat into Wideman's playing time substantially. Wideman's picked up just four helpers through 21 contests this season.
