What about Wideman @ $3.25M+Sven+Col 2nd for RoR?
If we are really going to go for one of those Colorado centers, I would throw money at Stastny first. If he resigns with Colorado (most likely) or runs away with a stack of money with another team, maybe RoR could possibly be in the talks of getting in Calgary. I would love getting the guy, but the thread about throwing an offer sheet at him was ridiculous.

I think Wideman's value is about the same... It may have decreased this year due to injury, but he still has been putting roughly a .5 PPG, which is pretty good for an offensive defenseman. The contract is what is making teams not even give a look at him, but we can easily retain salary.
