I think he's moveable but it's tricky with the NMC and with his salary. Basically I think we'd have to take a bad contract back. Purcell and Gagner went for salary dumps, basically negative value. I think we'd have to take a contract like that back. I think we could theoretically deal Wideman to a team badly in need of a power play shooter who has a bad contract up front that they'd like to get rid of (and who we think still has some value as scoring depth). Does such a team and situation exist right now? I'm not sure. More likely to happen in the offseason anyways because salary is more flexible for most teams after the season ends.
Would they buy him out? I dunno. Buying out Raymond seems like its necessary though.
