Wideman isn't part of the core or the future so he's not an asset in that sense. He's also making around $5M. I think the real issue may be getting him to waive his NTC. Getting some consistency in net would settle the team down and 3 years of Varlamov would keep the team competitive while waiting for either Gillies or McDonald to become an NHL goalie. It makes a lot of sense.

The goalie market is a buyers market, wouldn't be surprised if Wideman was the best the Avs could get for Varlamov.
