Also told the Penguins have acquired Mark Streit from Tampa Bay

Makes sense, Bolts should get a pick back and open up a bunch of cap space.

He and Sam Gagner can remember their times as part of the Lightning with great fondness.

Tampa Bay gets a fourth-round pick in 2018 for Streit

Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun
Tampa Bay retains 50 percent of Streit salary in trade with Pittsburgh

Streit's stats are about equivalent to Wideman's this season.

Hmmm but Streit didn't bodycheck a linesman

[killer_carlson]

Agreed.

So it shows that a veteran defenceman with an offensive component to his game, with a big salary, is a worth a 4th round pick after having salary retained by the selling team.

A guy like Wideman with the baggage he brings is worth less than that even if the Flames retain salary.

I'm sure the Flyers are thrilled.
