At that number, he should theoretically be the best #2 D in the league. Over three and a half years with the Flames he may have played a few games of that quality. Maybe.
And that's why BT can't move him.

You really need to stop. You're beyond reaching.
You don't know we've been actively trying to move Wideman. Listening to offers / kicking tires? Sure, anyone on the team outside of the young core can be moved if the price is right. Suggesting Treliving has been desperate to move him is sheer conjecture on your part.
And any way you shake it your comment about him "never coming close" to earning his salary was absolutely asinine. Fourth in points last season was exactly why we paid (and paid a premium) for him as a free agent (something that inflated his worth).
You said something outlandish, and are now spinning your wheels trying to back track. Just stop exaggerating, and you won't need to do the tap dancing.
It's fine to criticize his game. He's not a well rounded d-man. But to suggest he's never come close to earning his salary and acting like it's a fact we've been desperately trying to move him is sheer nonsense, and beyond weak.
