I don't see how there's risk on a 1 year deal. Let's say he sucks, then what? They healthy scratch him and don't re-sign him, no big deal. I guess it might prevent them from making a big trade at the deadline but is bringing in a guy who makes the $3.5 mil goimg to Jagr instead going to be the difference between winning a Stanley Cup or not? I doubt it.

Bringing him in on a one year deal has virtually no risk in my opinion.
