So you can say Wideman has "no value," but if he will get you a "slightly better value than Wiz" then we're looking at a pretty impressive return, actually.
I think there was a Columbus 3rd going along with Wisniewski, so the return isn't great, but for sure, Wideman still has some value. I think the Flames would have to take salary back, however and it isn't clear to me how we get better this year by trading Wideman. More minutes to Hamilton, Engelland, Nakladal?

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
