Wideman's trade value is at an all time low right now. Flames are better off hoping he bounces back even just a little and get more value at the deadline or mid season. No reason to rush out the door unless we have immediate need for the cap space.

Because he brings absolutely nothing to the team? Was he missed during his suspension or injury? If anything, the back end is improved with him gone. As someone said - addition by subtraction
