Two of those were short term deals with the intention of reaching the cap floor and providing competition in camp. And Raymond had a 20 goal, 40 point season the year before he was signed. Nobody expected him to fall off a cliff like he has.
I'll admit that the Ramo signing was a head scratcher at the time, and it looks even worse now. I'm convinced there was a Hiller trade in place that fell through. Probably to San Jose, before they got Jones.
It's not like these deals have put the team in cap hell, and they'll all be off the books soon.
