Yeah. I think if he was in the range of $4 million Treliving may have been able to move him over the summer but at over $5 million it's always been one of those UFA deals that you are stuck with the day pen was put to print. The Giordano contract is going to replace Wideman's contract going forward but as long as the team only has one of these bad deals your team can still navigate around it. When you have multiple deals like this it's when teams get in big trouble. Look how far the Kings were willing to go to get rid of Richards for instance.
