This is a low risk high reward scenario for the Pens. That was one of the reasons I thought trading Wideman to the Oilers for Schultz would have been a smart idea. The only problem facing the team is the qualification number. That is going to be high. So you have to be certain what you have in the next 20 games. If you think he's a player, you qualify him or give him a reduced 2 year deal. If you think he's broken, you don't qualify him and you're better off for moving an unmovable salary to Edmonton. You could have almost considered it a buyout situation, with no cost to the team. But Pittsburgh snapped him up and now are likely forced to go with him for a couple of seasons or have thrown away a 3rd round pick.
