Sending them a retained Wideman means now YOU risk the possibility of losing Boychuk to free agency for nothing and
yet you're stuck with half of Wideman's cap hit.
So basically you're left with 50% Wideman Cap hit + Pulock after you've given up Baertschi + Wideman.

There's also the fact that Granlund played LW as a junior next to C Mikael Granlund
