6th and a D prospect might make more sense.

I also don't see it happening - Oilers could definitely recoup more valuable assets for dropping down. If I was them, I would either demand one of Calgary's defensive prospects, or at least one of the 2nds in order to have more assets to throw at established defencemen.
However, Wideman would no longer have an NMC in his contract unless Edmonton chose to keep it there. IIRC, once a player waives, NTC/NMCs are automatically purged from the contract, unless the recipient team adds it back on. Someone can correct me if I am wrong.
