You can get an average third liner from free agency but you have to overpay dramatically to do that. You are better served to develop one internally.
Flawed logic.
I don't agree that you have to overpay for average third liners in free agency. Maybe for 2/3rd line tweeners.

Average third liners aren't usually in demand and I think you see some pretty good bargains on these types every year.

We are talking about a team's 8th or 9th best forward here. Your Kris Versteegs.
