To me, Versteeg and Vanek aren't that different. 2 players who aren't great overall players, both have lost a step and both are going to have to be sheltered a bit. But they both are inexpensive and can bring you offensive creativity and some finish which was our biggest problem this season.
I don't personally care if we go after him or not, but we need to start going after higher skilled players throughout our line up if we want to improve in the standings.

Aren't you answering your own questions?
The team brought in two players pretty much as you described in Versteeg and Jagr, they didn't bring in the other guy you keep bringing up. But they have flawed thinking for not bringing in the one while experimenting with the other two?
All offensive players.
None great in their own zone.
Vanek alone in a career reputation for not giving a rip.
