I think so. It would have to involve throwing more big money around in free agency on long term deals, which some may say will affect the long term ability of the team but I really don't think so. Wideman and Hudler don't really seem like hindrances to the future of the team, if anything they are good guys to have around going into the future. This team desperately needs to sign a defensemen in the offseason, even if they draft Jones
Bringing in other teams overpaid players so that they can get under the cap likely won't affect the future either since most are on 1-2 year deals and can still play a role.
Feaster has said that this is the basic plan for next season, but I hope ownership let's him whip out the wallet to do it. A few good young players in the line up, a few free agent signings, and losing some dead weight could work wonders for this sad team.
