James Wisniewski accepts PTO to Lightning camp
Wisniewski was the closest Wideman comparable on the free agent market, FWIW. Granted his injury status muddies things a bit.

James Wisniewski has signed a PTO (camp tryout) with the Lightning. Missed all but one game of last year with injury.
James Mirtle @mirtle
Wiz's injury remains huge concern. He badly tore his left ACL last year so his mobility may be affected. But smart of Tampa to have a look.

Interested to see if Wisniewski has any NHL quality game left in him.

Won't hurt Tampa to have a look in camp. Pretty nice blueline in Hedman, Stralman, Coburn, Garrison and Sustr. Some young kids on the cusp as well- add a serviceable Wisniewski to that group and one of the deepest teams in the league gets better.

Didn't realize the guy hadn't played in more than a year. Whatever the naysayers think, that hardly makes him a Wideman comparable

Also Wideman gets 6 million dollars and will lead the league in minor penalties

I don't think it is a coincidence he signed his PTO as far from edmonton as it is possible in the NHL.

He will also likely get paid 4-5 million dollars less than Wideman and has no acquisition cost and if he doesn't work out on the PTO they can just cut him.
