Default UFAs to sign or not

I'm looking over the UFA list and as has been said there isn't a lot that would improve us other than say Lecavalier, who might be a game changer in the sense of what our season ambitions are. Otherwise I don't see any sense in signing another centre or forward other than maybe a big physical RW.

Where I do see a need is for a top four defenceman or at least someone who can eat some minutes and there are a few possibilities. My first pick would be Andrew Ference. Boston isn't going to re-sign him. Now I realize he isn't awesome but he would be a good stopgap while a few of our prospects such as Cundari, Breen, Wotherspoon and Ramage mature.

Other possibilities are former Flames Jordan Leopold and Toni Lydman but both are fragile and non physical. I don't know much about them but Rob Scuderi, Ron Hainsy and Ryan Whitney might be okay if they aren't washed up.

My biggest fear is Feaster spending money on players just because he can and not taking care of our needs.

Anyone got other suggestions.
