Save for a blip in Columbus he's now on the provide offense and nothing else for teams going nowhere phase of his career.
10 straight seasons averaging a CF% of roughly 46% which would put him right beside Matt Bartkowski on the Flames for "getting things done!"
If this is flawed thinking to avoid Vanek then give me more of it!

Is it really flawed thinking though? The only flawed thinking IMO would be to not explore all options that can help turn the 5th worst offense into hopefully a playoff contender.
Vanek for a while was also one of the elite wingers of the game. He's having a hard time keeping up with the speed of the game now which is why he wouldn't be near the top of my list. But much like Versteeg, he could be a good PP specialist because he still is productive and has good touch and finishing around the net which is something we sorely lacked this season.
