I know that we're all ready to write-off Wideman's hockey career, but it's totally possible that he'll play better on a different team or system.

I mean, Iginla still had 30- and 29-goal seasons after we traded him. We thought Justin Schultz was KHL-bound until he got traded to Pittsburgh and got another NHL contract.

In that light, it's possible that another team could value Wideman as a serviceable NHL defenseman and be willing to trade (something) for him. We aren't too picky on the return, but it doesn't mean he will never play NHL-level hockey.
