Perhaps. But it isn't just the extra year. Carle has two points this year and hasn't been able to play more the 3/4 of a season since joining Tampa. Wideman is a RH shot that Tampa is looking good for. They need to give to make that swap.
Plus they aren't working from a position of strength with Drouin. He want out. Yzerman had publicly said they want to move him. Plus the kid is sitting out.
It might take a bit more on the Flames side to make the deal. But if I am taking Carle I am not adding a bunch more if I am the Flames.
