Flames Ryan Leslie: more than 1 NHL team very interested in Wideman

said during 1st intermission

also hinted that his being scratched is not necessarily performance based

Must be teams out east who haven't scouted nor watched the Flames play in a couple of years.

Maybe the Oilers want to reunite him with Russell...

So after hearing the news that the Flames management and the NHL sat down to go over the penalty situation... that suggests the Flames management DO think there is some truth to a "Wideman Effect", no?

If so, that makes trading him especially worthwhile.

Send him away for anything; 7th round pick, future considerations, a hot dog, I really don't care. As for his NMC, I guarantee Wideman will waive as it's his contract year and there's no way he wants to stay and be a healthy scratch for the last 23+ games of the season. Why not let both sides reset and put the past behind them and move on.

The thing is that there are quite a few teams that lack that bomb of a slapshot that he does possess.

As much as it would be strange, the team that makes the most sense to acquire Wideman is the Oilers. They lack that on their powerplay and they have Russell already who is obviously familiar with Wideman.

If you can utilize Wideman in a manner that makes sense (as your #6 and on your first PP unit) he is a useful player. Unfortunately for him, the Flames have 4 options right now that are better (Stone, Hamilton, Brodie, Gio) on the PP.

I would not be surprised if the return for Wideman is close to or slightly greater than what they paid for Stone.

More than one team must have surplus bags of pucks.

I apologized because people were being annoyed by what they thought were 'irrelevant, minor rumours'

I maintain my story.
