Don't get why the Flames would trade J-Bo just to dump cap space. Without him the defense looks slow and deficient in their own end, and it's not like the Flames are oozing with top 4 defensemen to replace him. And as much as he is overpaid he's the only guy who can be relied on to play big minutes. I certainly wouldn't trust Wideman with that responsibility.
Babchuk and Stajan are entirely redundant. It makes far more sense to trade them for whatever you can get if the point is to just dump salary.
