I could see the penguins targeting someone like wideman only if the flames eat part of his cap hit. If it means the flames could get a decent prospect in return, I think it would be worth it. The flames will likely have lots of cap room for the next couple years so it should be ok. The penguins might not be able to keep both Orpik and niskanen at the end of the year so there might be room for a guy like wideman going forward.

Only problem is that they have lots of good up and coming defencemen in their system so they might just choose to develop them and just give Maata a more prominent role for the rest of the season... He seems to be better and better every game.
