He is still a very capable puck mover when he's not in his own end, and if he would stop trying to break everyone's shin pads he might actually be an asset in the o-zone.
I expect Wideman @50% to fetch at most a 4th, given his already high salary

No. He's not anymore. Not that Justin Schultz is that good, but rather Wideman is that bad now.
And fyp.
Also Schultz is much younger, so there's the potential factored in there. Wideman is no longer what he used to be and doesn't have time on his side.
