If you have watched the Bruins this year at all you would know that Wideman has not nearly been the player he was last year. It has gotten to the point where Bruins' coach Claude Julien has even called him out...
"He's got to bring his intensity level up and he's got to have a better compete level. That's what makes him a great player. He should easily be a top-two at worst, a top-three defenseman for us, and he's not close to that right now. We know it. He knows it. He's got to pick up his game (NESN)."
There is not a lot going around about who may be interested, but one rumor that is flying around is that Wideman and Wheeler could be traded to rent Ilya Kovalchuk for the season. I would be all for this. Wideman seems to need a change of scenery, and Wheeler is a very up and down player. You add Kovalchuk and a healthy Bruins team and you really have something going into the playoffs.
