The Florida Panthers announced today that the club has acquired defenseman Chris Wideman and a 2019 third round draft pick from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for defenseman Alexander Petrovic.
The third-round round pick will be the higher pick between the Edmonton’s own third-round draft pick and the New York Islanders’ third-round pick, which was previously acquired by the Oilers as the result of a trade on February 24, 2018 that sent Brandon Davidson to New York.
The 28-year-old Wideman has appeared in five games with Edmonton this season recording two points (0-2-2).
