What's the harm in signing him short term, and then, if possible, flipping him for picks and/or prospects come trade deadline? That's just smart asset management IMO.

If he wants just a one year deal. I doubt that is the case. If it were there are better options than Calgary. My fear is Feaster signing Lecavalier to a longer term deal that makes the team just good enough to miss the top picks and we have to go through the 90s all over again. Forget that. Be bad for a couple of years while you develop your young talent, not overpay aging vets whose game has passed them by and give the impression of being competitive.
