I still think he would fetch more at next year's deadline, when you could still retain half the salary. And some of our D prospects could probably use the time in the AHL.

I just really want BT to focus on getting the maximum return and not trying to fix the team for this year or next.
Part of the problem is going into the summer with that contract still on the books with 4 high priced Dmen signed beyond this year that are a right shot or in Brodie's case likes to play the right side.

If they trade Russell this year then yes I think you can keep Wideman until the deadline next year but Brodie needs to slide back to the left
