If it means retaining salary or taking a bad contract back, I don't think the Flames should trade Wideman this summer (unless it's part of a deal for a very good young player). I say keep him and shelter him and try and make him more of a PP specialist and not a top 4 guy. I think he'll put up better offensive numbers and be less of a defensive liability and if the Flames are out of the playoffs, he'll be trade bait at the next deadline. If the team succeeds next year, I think he'll be a big contributor.
