They know what they're getting. A broken down 33 year old powerplay specialist who is a defensive liability on a top 4 salary. That's negative value. If you trade Wideman, you add a pick and very a worse pick out salary dump back

Talk about cherry picking...one of those seasons was locked out for half.
Wiseman has pretty consistently been a .5 ppg defenseman in his time in the NHL. That is pretty amazing and given his last season he clearly still has "it", even if he's going to continue to slowly decline. Some teams would see him as having negative value, others may see value with salary retained or a lesser cap dump back, etc. I think I saw that Tre was trying to move him last summer with no takers? Well with another year off that contract I wouldn't be surprised to see him traded mid season next year.
Also he'd be the Oilers #1 d-man so there's that. Lol.
