They gave us a second for Berra. They cannot afford Wideman. Diaz, or Smid however.

Diaz for a second. Make it happen Treliving. Anything less and I'll be disappointed.

This is a blessing in disguise. Colorado is nipping at our heels for a playoff spot, and we can use a downgrade in Avalanche defense.

Agreed, especially considering this is a career year for him.

Our team needs Wideman more than any other team in the league...

Our fifth best Dman this year might actually be Diaz. Our bottom pairing is brutal

O'Reilly (proper capitalization and punctuation should not be hard) is not going to go for Stajan and Wideman, so please keep the "their gold for our crap" proposals in the trade ideas thread.

Also, we don't need O'Reilly, so trading from a spot of weakness (defence) into an area of strength (centre) is not going to move the organization forward.

hahaha resolute - i guess you're the thread police. and the grammar police all in one. good for you. hahaha whatever gets you thru the day.

i don't mind wideman - i like oreilly much more - and long term i think the organization would be better off. maybe i'm wrong. maybe you are. my guess is we'll never know in any case. just firing something out there - is that ok?

just kidding - i don't actually care if you think its ok.

have a great night sugah

Serious blow to a weak D corps. Erik Johnson being out for so long can seriously jeopardize their playoffs hopes. Good for Flames.

Putting everything aside, Wideman and Stajan isn't even a starting point for O'reilly.
