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.

But Wideman is not comparable to either of those players. No one was writing Iginla off. Schultz much younger and still had potential to improve.
