He's not bad at bargain binning, that's for sure. $1M to Hemsky is an entirely fine dive into the dumpster. Hemsky was hurt last year, but he's a bit younger and probably a bit better at this point than the famous ancient guys like Jagr, Doan, Iginla.
I don't mind the Hemsky signing as a bandaid on the gaping wound of failure to re-sign Radulov.
Although it would be nice if one day they just showed faith in their young players. Hudon might be even better than Hemsky at this point. But we'll probably never know, and he'll probably end up lost on waivers or something.
