Since when did Wideman become the worst defencemen in the history of the NHL with a budget ripping contract for just under a century to boot. He didn't have a great year last year but this persistent viewpoint from some that this is the worst handicapping and unprecedentedly horrible contract in the history of the team is ridiculous. Is he a little overpaid, maybe, but hardly a terrible defenceman.
The Feaster rippers I think seem to forget what a mess this team was when he took over. Wideman, worst contract and worst defencemen ever, hardly. Jones, nowhere near as bad as some seem to think. SOB, not great to be sure, but do people remember the last few months of Alex T here, I do, and I will still take Jones.
Feaster may not have gotten the best out of some of the trades, but he wasn't dealing from a position of strength, everyone in the league, and their dogs, new that Calgary had to rebuild. You really want to lay blame for Feasters lack of wins, put it on the doorstep of ownership, who forced him to keep players, not just past their prime trading window, but to the point of making it glaringly obvious to the entire league and the chl and the ahl that players had to go from Calgary.
