Wideman is the only NMC on the team fortunately. Others have limited NTCs since BT era.
We are stuck with Wideman as a 4/5 D for most of the season. Hopefully he has a contract expiring type year and we can get a 2nd or 3rd round pick for him at deadline regardless of where we are in the standings.
Will be interesting to see if they move both Wideman and Engelland at trade deadline if we are playoff bound team (only UFAs with value that we could move).
Depth on D crucial for long playoff run but I am still thinking we are sellers for another year or more as we continue to stock the shelves with A and B prospects necessary for long term cap management.

I'd bet Wideman would be willing to waive his NM clause if he could land in a good situation where he can get top PP time to get his stats up for his next contract.
