3 of the guys you listed costed nothing. Stewart was a waiver pickup, Glass and Grossman were signed for peanuts and all 3 barely played for the Flames.
Brouwer was a bad move easily one of if not the worst move Treliving has made butnhe was brought in to be the 20-25 goal 45pt forward he has been throughout his career.
Versteeg would qualify in the wasted spending you are referring to and he worked out. Jagr did not but was worth the risk.
I believe last year Glass and Jagr were both added late as the Flames did plan to give internal options a try but no one had a good camp which is why the vets were signed.
