He has no value to the Flames. The other teams know that the Flames have to trade him or lose him for nothing.
All this BS about only being 1.5M apart is a very flimsy story....
It is pretty obvious that the Flames are not going to sign Russell for $4M and low ball Gaudreau and Monahan..... Hopefully anyway.
Getting rid of Wideman does not provide cap relief either as that $ should be ear-marked for Bennett.
Here is a
spread sheet that Incogito put together that shows the cap realities of the Flames next year... Not quite up to date but other GMs are going to be aware of the corner Trevling has painted himself into
