Niskanen, Braun and Hayes aren't depth players. They cost between $3.8m and $7.14m against the cap and had major roles on the team. The only time Hextall had cap space to acquire players of that price tag he got JVR.
Pitlick and Stewart were Fletcher's summer depth acquisitions. Pitlick was a nice pick up, but so was Bellemare who barely made more than the minimum salary while he was here, and showed how good he really was once freed from Hak's suffocating yoke. Stewart was literally the worst player in the league.
It's also a bit strange to blame Hextall for Hagg when that was a Homer draft pick and he's still around and being used under the new regime. Even stranger to bring up Lehtera without mentioning that he came with the picks Hextall used to take Frost and Farabee. Jori wasn't a free agent signing designed to improve the team.
MDZ and Gudas were at least as good as Braun when it comes to dman acquisitions. And they were cheaper.
