Hmmm... perhaps. If their plan is to give Wotherspoon the start in the AHL (with 23-25+ minutes a night) until injuries or Wideman is moved and are looking at Diaz or the waiver-wire/trade-market for a #6/7, then that makes sense.
I'm not a proponent of trading vets just to make room at the beginning of the year for young guys, but moving Wideman to get Wotherspoon regular NHL minutes (rather than spot duties as the #6/7) would be awesome.
