C: Wideman's positives no longer outweigh his negatives IMO.

A. There is enough Cap Space to re-sign all RFAs AND sign a $5M Goalie. There is not room for a UFA RW.
B. If expansion takes place in 2017/2018, only Stajan (Limited NTC) and Giordano (Full NTC) would have to be protected.
C. Agreed. Just think that he won't be moved until the TDL.
