I understand Moss has been hurt, but I would have rather had him then both Stempniak and Comeau.
The Hudler signing really makes signing Stempniak not make much sense to me.

Moss had an injury filled season where be potted 2 goals in 32 games. I wouldn't want him back for 2.1 million.
Hudler is 2 years younger and far more skilled. Put up 50 points and got paid like a top 6 forward.
The Flames had a spot in their top 6 to fill. I, like some people, thought they would use Bouwmeester to grab this type of player. Instead Feaster signed him and didn't have to give up an asset.
In Feaster's interviews he is always talking about how the Flames are a team that lacks assets. Well now they have some depth that they can trade with. A guy like Babchuk is definitely not coming back and someone like Stajan is on the bubble. The team has a ton of wingers they can go into camp with and let the cards fall where they may. Whoever doesn't make the team can be move out for another asset.
