COMPLETELY disagree. You go right ahead and sign guys on 1-3 year deals if you're rebuilding. Then when they're about to go UFA, you can trade them at the deadline for more picks.
Aging veteran UFA's is exactly what the team SHOULD be targeting right now. Get you some Patrik Elias. Grab that Brendan Morrow. Bring back that Regher. If any of them are worth something this time next year, you can at least get an extra prospect out of 'em, and if not, hey, no worries, they'll be gone soon after - and long before they're taking up cap space that could be better used on up and coming players.
