1) The #1 thing most teams want to add heading into the playoffs is defensive depth
2) Wideman has played top 4 and first PP unit successfully in the past
3) GM's are willing to give players a second chance, or pick up reclamation targets, especially if they know the player firsthand
All that adds up to somebody probably being interested.
Wideman's NMC could be a barrier. What's the easiest way to remove that barrier? Scratch the player a bunch til he's sick of sitting and not playing and wants out desperately.
Would not surprise me at all if Wideman moves
