Proposal: Edm/Cgy

[Guido Sarducci]

I'd do a lot to get rid of Wideman. When he's not scoring, he's not doing much else. This is how he drew the ire of the Flames faithful this year.

Apparently management still sees him as part of the solution; as a 5:6 he should be fine.

I think keeping Wideman is their only play. If they had ANY trade options that didn't involve retaining $$ or taking back a total stiff he would be gone by now.

I think he is capable of a bounce back season. Veteran players tend to do that in contract years.

What about this:

Wideman
2nd

for

Fayne
Yak

Nope. Don't want Fayne.

A deal like this makes perfect sense to me. Flames need to dump wideman, and it would be nice to replace colbourne on backlunds wing. Realistically wideman is a dump and a 2nd is a fair price for yakupov, so oilers get a offensive d they can hopefully dump for a pick at the deadline + a 2nd, so call it two 2nds for yak, and flames get a former first overall who backlund can make look like a stud.

Flames don't need to dump Wideman.

Fayne is actually a really good dman in the right role.

Yakapov for Wideman @50% plus 2017 4th

Zero chance. I watched Wideman enough that the Oilers are better off with Spazakov on the ice than with Wideman

He's signed for one more year. That's my quarrel. We can one and done Wideman, at the very worst.

Yakupov

Wideman
McDonald
Poirier

And that is why you are selling shoes and not running a NHL franchise. Have any of you considered what exactly the Flames do with Yakupov when he repeats his performance in Edmonton and has to be qualified at $2.5 million plus? They just let a better hockey player walk rather than pay him that, so it is likely they do the same with Crapupov. Yeah, you just flushed a good 2nd pick down the crapper for nothing.

Your entire post is somehow qualified upon Yak not ever being worth 2.5 mil bucks. A 1st overall pick at age 22 ? The Oilers would never accept that offer so dont worry about having to 'qualify' him.

Yes but I think Fayne could be a useful player for us.
