Versteeg doesn't seem to be the problem, plays are just dying on Brouwer's stick, and he's not making the smart play.

That's my hunch too, though those WOWY charts don't show Versteeg as a play driver with anyone either.
So does this come down to optics with a free agent signing? Or is this keeping the guy that is known as a playoff guy in the mix heading towards April?
