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.

Kris Versteeg is a 1 year stop gap player. Sometimes they work out, often they don't. Given a choice between developing your own top 9 forward, that can be part of your team for multiple seasons, our dumpster diving for free agent bargains to fill gaps - I think the preferred choice is obvious.
Frankly I'm surprised you are trying to argue otherwise.
