2 young D on ELC's who have shown well in their stints with the big club. Wideman provides a stable minute eating right hander that can help the PP for a season then he's off the books.
Kulak and Spoon are close to being NHL ready in terms of quality bottom pairing Dmen with upside.
This deal gives Snow everything he wants.
If people are thinking a one for one swap, you have to consider the return would be derwhelming.
Sure, a team may send a quality Dman, but likely it would be either an inferior Dman making about the same money as Hamonic or a equal or better Dman with as much or more upside that is likely going to cost Snow more in terms of cap hit (Trouba), or assets (due to Hamonic wanting out).

why would the isles move a young top 4 D with potential to be a top 2 player on an amazing contract for an old vet who can hardly skate with a massive cap hit with 2 prospects who are unlikely to ever be anything more than bottom pairing D?
