The Russell stuff is in the Russell thread (don't ask me which one, they all seem to be Russell threads these days), but here's a bit on Wideman:

Don’t rule out a Dennis Wideman deal at the deadline. Especially if the Flames were willing to eat some of his deal
Wideman still works the power play well, so much so that the Flames have been able to save more of T.J. Brodie’s minutes for even strength this season. If the Flames took back a chunk of his $5.25 cap hit for next season, he could give a team like Toronto or Edmonton a useful power-play defenceman next season, then become a valuable trading piece at next year’s deadline.
It would only work for teams that need players, have cap space, and aren’t afraid to rent a player for one year. We suspect Calgary would be pleased to have as much of Wideman’s salary disappear as possible.
