People can't equate the years prior with this year as to why Treliving couldn't trade Wideman. A 5.25 million dollar contract with a NMC and years remaining is different than an expiring one in which 2/3rds has been paid by the Flames and the cap hit is around 1.3 million at the deadline.
So yeah, Treliving couldn't trade Wideman last year. That doesn't mean he can't this year
