Former Coach Hunter was kind to his former OHL Player by giving him big minutes and prime PP time. Is a healthy Green going to eat this up or will more oppertunities be given to Carlson, Alzner, Orlov etc under Oates. - longshot2242 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 04:58:56 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/4718-calgary-flames-acquire-sign-dennis-wideman#comment-21525 Yikes- 5mil for a dman whose a nightmare outside of the powerplay. and Luongo is overpaid? - Rollie1967 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 22:24:59 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/4718-calgary-flames-acquire-sign-dennis-wideman#comment-21496 This helps Green a lot as well. They didnt mesh well at all on the PP and now Green is back as the man. - DuklaNation Wed, 27 Jun 2012 20:02:41 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/4718-calgary-flames-acquire-sign-dennis-wideman#comment-21495 Wasn't Talon the GM who brought Wideman to Florida? Wouldn't surprise me if McPhee used that to raise the price a bit. Or maybe McPhee asked for a higher pickin exchange for right to negotiate deal before finalizing the trade (Vokoun was signed a couple of days after being traded, suggesting negotiations probably started after the trade; Wideman was signed right after being traded. - fzusher Wed, 27 Jun 2012 19:27:30 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/4718-calgary-flames-acquire-sign-dennis-wideman#comment-21493 My wife's cousin played in Iginla's golf tournament two years ago and was put in a group with Wideman. Before they teed off, Iggy took him and his buddy aside and sheepishly told them he was sorry. They didn't understand what he was apologizing about until a few holes into their round. Apparently that Wideman is a real piece of work. - Ogie_Oglethorpe Wed, 27 Jun 2012 15:01:28 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/4718-calgary-flames-acquire-sign-dennis-wideman#comment-21492 This should help out Carlson to some point... No? - Colorjazz Wed, 27 Jun 2012 14:46:41 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/4718-calgary-flames-acquire-sign-dennis-wideman#comment-21490 Angus, that's one of many four letter words I could use to describe this signing. - olgrit22 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 13:44:00 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/4718-calgary-flames-acquire-sign-dennis-wideman#comment-21489 One word - ouch. - angus Wed, 27 Jun 2012 13:01:10 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/4718-calgary-flames-acquire-sign-dennis-wideman#comment-21488 i'm assuming this helps the value of John Carlson and Dmitry Orlov in Washington as well, as long as they don't make a big splash with Suter. - j_diddy Wed, 27 Jun 2012 11:34:10 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/4718-calgary-flames-acquire-sign-dennis-wideman#comment-21487 As a Flames fan I loathe this move. They were finally getting out of "salary cap hell" and then go and trade for a guy who'll be playing for his 5th team in 8 years in the league. Wideman will follow in the footseps of Rob Niedermayer and Jay Bouwmeester when it comes to not meeting the fans' and his salary's lofty expectations. - olgrit22 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 11:29:32 +0100
