Confirmed with Link: Wideman traded to EDM for 6th round pick

[Cosmix]

Good, that's a start. I wonder if he will take an Uber to the airport?

Now look to move Pyatt & Paajarvi next.

Who the hxxx signed these guys? Oh yeah, I remember now.

 

[danielpalfredsson]

I hope this is a sarcastic joke making fun of what many misinformed fans are going to say about him.

Yes.

Apparently people used to message Chris Wideman on twitter chastising him for attacking a referee.

 

[TheNewEra]

What's the bet that we made this move to take spotlight off the lebreton news

 

[Burrowsaurus]

People better watch out for the sens at the 2030 nhl draft. We’re loading up

 

[Clayonator]

Later Wides. Jaros stole his spot.

 

[thesensguy]

Great. Wolanin is a better injury call-up and Jaros is just plain better.

 

[Cosmix]

I thought Wideman was a pretty good offensive Defenseman in the AHL but his diminutive size was going to be his Achilles heal weakness in the NHL, and it turned out to be so. He is just too small and not highly skilled enough to overcome his weaknesses. I wish him well in Edmonton. I see him as a PP specialist and 6-7 Defenseman at ES.

Hate to burst the bubble it's because harpur is almost back and we are about to see a boro harpur pairing

Harpur was playing good before he got injured

Yes, he was becoming #8 - #9 on the defense depth chart.

 

[Qward]

Finally won a trade

 

[Spartachat]

Dorion does trade with Chiarelli and all he gets back is a 6th rounder? He should have got Nurse.

 

[Cosmix]

Some good plus not so good. I am not sure if Harpur is anything more than a #6-#7 Defenseman. I hope he develops into a Chara-type defensive defenseman but that is high hopes indeed as he does not play big, mean, nor as effective as Z.

 

[Ouroboros]

Can't believe the Wellington Diner didn't break this news.

 

[swiftwin]

Yet another good move by Dorion.

 

[Korpse]

With Harpur being ready to return, it makes sense. They want to see what they have in him and Wideman has been surpassed on the depth chart with the emergence of Lajoie and Jaros. Really no sense in carrying 8 defensemen especially when you have a guy like Wolanin in the minors waiting for his opportunity. Return is whatever but I doubt there was much of a market for Wideman. I imagine trading Wideman was an avenue management explored in anticipation for Harpur's return.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Only way this makes sense is if it's so Eugene saves enough money to let Dorion get us a decent backup. Otherwise we lose a depth dman for peanuts and it makes it look like the Uber ride had a bigger effect than we thought.

 

[Senscore]

Ok Dorion now do Ceci

 

[Handles1919]

Yet another good move by Dorion.

yeah thats one to hang your hat on lol

didnt dorion say wideman was going to take a big step forward for our top 6? great foresight there

 

[swiftwin]

No. It's your imagination.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

makes room for Jaros/Harpur

makes semse

Jaros was already playing. Harpur sucks.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Yet another good move by Dorion.

Literally anyone could have done this.

How is it even possibly to do good or bad in a deal like this?

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Ok Dorion now do Ceci

On the 8th day...

It's possible when you've become a Dorion troll.
