Maybe when the dust settles they can trade Wideman, but i think he ends up on opening day roster. Have to think his NMC makes it very hard for them to trade him. I doubt he would waive to go to a team that has no chance at playoffs ( Edmonton). It would mean moving now and then moving again come tradedeadline.

There were unsubstantiated rumors that Treliving denied. I don't think it was a serious option until close to the deadline. I wouldn't be shocked for a second if it was the same again this year. With Russell gone and Jokipakka being a big question mark in the top 4, it makes more sense to hold onto Wideman. The only way he gets bought out tomorrow is if the Flames are going hard after Lucic or Okposo.
