I actually like this poll. I would do it straight up, 1 for 1. But the Oilers wouldn't. I think Yak can be salvaged if he's in the RIGHT situation. How many ex-Oilers go on to other teams and have more success? He's still young and his cap hit is way less then Wideman. He's also a RW and might look good on the PP with Gaudreau dishing him the puck.
I wouldn't be opposed to it happening. And this coming from someone who has been a fan of Wideman since the day he signed, minus last season.
