THE Chris Wideman? KHL top defenseman Chris Wideman? How can Montreal afford him?

 

[Gurglesons]

Weird. But okay.

Montreal loving the scandals I guess. Although I think Wideman's isn't really a big deal.

 

[CupInSIX]

The guy who pushed a ref or the guy who said some shit in Ottawa?

 

[Jee]

thought he retired

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Jesus Bergevin.

"Helluva" offseason so far.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

You lot thought I was crazy. But here we are lmao

Via: LHPMD to Montréal

“If not; maybe target a guy like Chris Wideman who was electric in the KHL while running the PP.”

Remember a Panthers fan calling me weird for throwing out random names.
Sorry I follow hockey outside the NHL i guess

 

[VIPettersson]

very bold

we're looking for creative ways to sign him

 

[Rockomax]

Bergevin doesn't give a f*ck anymore

 

[Cogburn]

Ok, I snort-laughed at that.

 

[Benedict Kovalchuk]

Is Chris Simon still playing? Maybe he'll get signed too

 

[Captain97]

They don't call him bargain bin for nothing

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

What Wideman did isn't that bad but boy Montreal loves players with some dark clouds over them.

 

[SI90]

I hope he healed from his broken leg. Long Island legend!!

 

[Techcoockie]

I SWEAR Bergvein knows he is out and is doing everything lowkey to f*** Montreal up without sounding the alarm for Molson.
He knows what he is doing and it seems disingenuous.

That's how you create lockerroom problem. Now sign Hoffman and Deangelo, voila.

You’re thinking of Dennis Wideman my friend, both are similar players to your defence.

Unless you’re talking about him trashing Guy Boucher?

 

[Duck Off]

He was great for Anaheim a while back, our ahl team that is.

 

[2CHAINZ]

You guys should sign Voynov he'd fit right in with what Montreal is building

MB took a chance on Kassian, Semin, Rads as well. He likes the cheap, high upside play

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Agreed, he was also good for the Senators…. Belleville Senators of course.

 

[BonMorrison]

The Athletic article on Wideman is actually really good. Goes into detail about how he was essentially scape goated and blacklisted from the league cause of that Uber incident. Nice to see him make his way back tbh.

The 'Uber Incident': Did a secret video destroy an NHL career?

 

[Langdon Alger]

Try offering him a contract. That should do it.

 

[kanucks25]

The guy who pushed a ref or the guy who said some shit in Ottawa?

The latter.

Dennis Wideman had the incident with the ref.
