Flames' Dennis Wideman: Eighteen points in 2016-17
Wideman chipped in five goals and 13 assists in 57 games this season.
The blueliner is just two years removed from his eye-popping 56-point effort, but the lack of production in 2016-17 shouldn't at all come as a surprise given that he managed just 19 points in 2015-16. With 87 shots on goal, 61 hits and and 74 blocked shots, Wideman simply didn't do enough to prove valuable in the vast majority of formats this year.

Flames' Dennis Wideman: Tallies goal in victory over Penguins
Wideman scored a goal in a 4-3 shootout victory over the Penguins on Monday.
It really appears his fantastic 2014-15 was a fluke. He's missed 47 games over the last two seasons due to injuries and a suspension, but he only has six goals and 31 points in his last 105 contests. In 80 games during the 2014-15 season, he tallied 15 goals and 56 points, but that seems like a long time ago now. Wideman posted a 8.7 shooting percentage in 2014-15; this season, his shooting percentage is below his 5.7 percent career average at 3.8. However, Wideman is also recording far fewer shots and playing fewer minutes this season than two years ago. Given that he's only back in the lineup due to an injury to Michael Stone, Wideman's fantasy value is virtually nonexistant.

Flames' Dennis Wideman: Watches from press box
Wideman was a healthy scratch for Tuesday's game against the Predators.
Wideman has managed just one point over his past 10 games, and he appears to be the odd man out in Calgary's blue-line logjam at the moment. With the NHL trade deadline right around the corner, the impending free agent could be on the trade block for a thrifty Flames team looking for any kind of return.
