The Ottawa Senators have dealt defenseman Chris Wideman to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for a sixth-round selection in the 2020 draft.
The pick was previously acquired by the Oilers from the St. Louis Blues in the deal for blue-liner Jakub Jerabek on Oct. 1.
Wideman ranked seventh in average ice time among Ottawa blue-liners in 2018-19. He ultimately lost minutes to Thomas Chabot, Maxime Lajoie, Dylan DeMelo, and Ben Harpur - all younger players on the back end.
He collected five points in 19 games with the Senators this season and spent all three of his previous campaigns with Ottawa, which drafted him 100th overall in 2009.
The 28-year-old is a pending unrestricted free agent who signed a one-year, $1-million contract with the Senators this past June.
