Yes, that's why he's not a player I would put near the top of my list. But he's still a right handed shot with 24 goals and 56 points this season. He would've finished 3rd on our team in scoring and he's showed some productivity with the Wings last season and the Canucks and Blue Jackets this season.
He would be cheap and could be placed in a similar situation as Versteeg this season. Bottom 6, moderate even strength minutes, but use him more as a PP specialist around the front of the net. It's not like Versteeg was a burner, but he still was very helpful to the team especially last season.
