I still don't think Wideman will prove to be a good value signing in the long run. They're paying him more than he's worth. That being said, they're not paying all that MUCH more than he's worth (for me he's aav 4.5ish), so it's not the end of the world.
Hudler was signed for about fair value at the time for the market, I think, and it may turn out (if he keeps playing like this) that he was a bit undervalued at that time and the Flames were the beneficiaries.
Feaster hasn't done a bad job, for me, and to the extent that "Going for it" rather than trading depreciating assets and re-building right away once he took over was an organizational decision rather than something he decided, I'd say he's done a very good job given the hand he was dealt.
