That's the only way Nakladal is remotely considered to be signed

Let's say trading Wideman with 50% retained at the draft gets you a fringe NHLer. Basically a giveaway.
But Wideman with money retained at the deadline gets you a 2nd round pick.
Is making space for Nakladal worth that much?
My assumptions could be way off but I believe Wideman has more value at the deadline.
