I don't think Wideman gets traded this summer.

He'll come back next year, and it'll give him a chance to redeem his 2015-16 season. If we get 50 point Wideman again, well then that's great! Hopefully he helps us into the playoffs, and his $5.2MM will be worth it. Remember, Ramo and Hiller contracts are both gone next season, so that's 8 million gone. Jones is already gone, and we aren't resigning Russell. Flames won't be in cap hell next season.

If he doesn't rebound, you're in the same boat you're in now, except it's probably slightly easier to move him since he'll be in the final year of his deal. Trading him in the summer is selling low. Bad for business.
