As far as the Flames go option 1 would mean we would either have to trade Wideman before the expansion draft, buy him out, or we would be forced to protect him. Here was another question I had because I am not sure how buy outs work. If it is option 1 and a player will be a UFA in a month what stops that team from just buying those guys out for like $0 so they don't have to protect them?
