Hasek certianly hasn't been the Hasek of old. That being said, he's been injured for most of the season. One of those chronic goalie injuries. It hasn't helped his performance. There was no real option for the Wings. It would have been insane to let Hasek walk and sign for anyone he'd like (see: THE FORCES OF DARKNESS(tm)).

The understanding NHL fan in me thinks you have a point about all those injuries.
But the realist in me notes that almost all of those guys are pretty damn old (Zetterberg excepting), so you get what you pay for. Maybe it's about time the Wings realized there is a downside to throwing money at older stars.
