He'll missed out on 20 games of pay. He didnt play for the Flames so they arent likely paying him. Does the league have to cough up the half mill for backpay?  |
Well, the money was paid by the Flames to a league fund, so the fund would presumably return it to Wideman. The Flames then sue the NHL, claiming 20 games without their top offensive defenseman cost them playoff revenue. Hilarity ensues.
