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

[Laphroaig]

Edmonton overpaid.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

For a conditional 6th haha.

I assume this means another deal is on the way (for a backup) and we really wanted to clear salary in order to pull it off.

 

[Handles1919]

No. It's your imagination.

"As far as replacing the player, we can't. But dividing his minutes up, we can do that pretty well. Guys like Chris Wideman and Thomas Chabot are ready to take a step"

 

[TheBradyBunch]

Man, the reaction to this trade on the main boards tells you everything you need to know about the level of Sens knowledge one can expect to encounter there.

It's like someone sourced the world worst opinions and then threw them in a pressure cooker.

I see nothing about top 6.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Literally anyone could have done this.

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

He moved dead money without taking any back.

That is actually pretty good. Not amazing but pretty good.

 

[Another Mr Lizard]

Can any Ottawa fans provide some background on the guy (other then the uber situation lol)?

Yes.

Born to a pair of cojoined twins in Northern Ontario he quickly rose to fame aged 5 starring in an elementary school play called “who hid all the strawberries and why is my liver pulsating?”.

Later on he joined the school tic-tac-toe team amd holds the distinguished record of having never won in over 500 ties vs other schools.

After a brief stint in jail for stealing an assortment of cheeses he was promoted to assistant hot dog griller at the then named Scotia Bank Place.

He was said to have a very skillful way with a pair of tongs.

Is that enough?

Good riddance, if your going to shit talk your coach, get ready to pack your bags and get out.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

So is the pick conditional or not?

If it isn't, this is a baller move.

 

[Agent Zub]

I feel like he is underrated. Hope he becomes a productive player for Edmonton and reaches his potential.

 

[Boud]

Thought we could do better than that honestly. RHD are in high demand even if Wideman is a 3rd pairing guy. Put him with a steady partner and 2nd unit PP and he can do that pretty well.

Not surprised at all though.

It becomes a 5th if Jakub Jerabek plays enough NHL games for the St.Louis Blues.

So it's probably a 6th.

 

[aragorn]

I'll be surprised if he is still in the league next season.

 

[Karl Prime]

Good riddance, if your going to **** talk your coach, get ready to pack your bags and get out.

So you are advocating a Duchene trade?

 

[DanyHeatley]

Chabot - Demelo
lajoie - Ceci
Borowiecki - xxx

who’s up next?

jaros
wolanin
englund
harpur

 

[Icelevel]

Gave him away. I still like it.

Sends a tiny message that behaviour is not acceptable and maybe makes duchene a little more appreciative he’s still welcome here.

 

[Icelevel]

Chabot - Demelo
lajoie - Ceci
Borowiecki - xxx

who’s up next?

jaros
wolanin
englund
harpur

Any of those guys will be fine. Wolanin is most similar and probably just as good or better now or soon

 

[Dzingelberry]

Next stop, a career in the minor leagues. We've seen this film before.

 

[Dzingelberry]

So you are advocating a Duchene trade?

Pierre would likely flip him for a 2nd round pick.

 

[Agent Zub]

Pierre would likely flip him for a 2nd round pick.

We'd actually add a second

 

[JD1]

I thought it was a nice gesture signing the guy last June given the injury.
but to me he isn't the same player and we've got options that can use the ice. salary gone. none coming back. low end draft pick. all good.

 

[Icelevel]

Can any Ottawa fans provide some background on the guy (other then the uber situation lol)?

He looked very good before his injury. Beginning of that season he looked like a fringe top 4 guy. If he can get back to that you could have a very good bottom pair mobile dman.

Chabot - Demelo

jaros
wolanin
englund
harpur

Harpur is on a one way contract while the others can be sent back & forth so it's likely he stays, but Jaros seems to be playing well enough & could stay as well. Wolanin has been great down in Belleville so far this yr & probably deserves a callup & Englund has been waiting patiently for a few yrs now but isn't showing nearly enough. I think they give Harpur another shot when he finally gets healthy again. What is his injury?

I wonder if PD got tired of the 11-7 strategy of the coach & decided to move a defenceman to stop GB from using it? I wonder if he is aware that Anderson isn't practicing because rest is a weapon in his situation?

 

[Samboni]

He’ll be another Joe Corvo anytime we play the Oilers!
