I'd only but out a player(s) if we need to because of the cap. That would probably mean we are going to sign an expensive UFA. Otherwise just send Raymond back to the minors and leave everything else at the status quo.

Wideman could be a target depending on the expansion draft rules where we could be forced to protect him. I'd like him more as trade bait though. IIRC if he waives his no movement clause the new team doesn't need to keep it, so he would no longer need to be protected.
