Fine, but my point was, and Vlad figured it out:
If the independent arbitrator finds in Wideman's favour and No Suspension was warrented:
- The Flames put Wideman's salary into a PA fund
- The PA refund that money to Wideman
- The Flames were still without a player for (assume) 20 games
- The Flames never got that player's contribution but still paid $540K for it
I assume the League, who would be the guilty party in the erroneous suspension would have to at the least refund the Flames for Wideman's salary.
But further to that Wideman's lack of participation will have affected the Flames, albeit perhaps not a playoff position but then perhaps a draft position.
What compensation do they get for that?
