Versteeg might not drive play, but he has been good on the power play and money in the shootout and his contract is dirt cheap. As long as he isn't a complete black hole at 5 on 5 he has a place on this team.

Brouwer though... I was down to my last straw with Gulutzan and then he got the Flames turned around, so I don't want to completely give up on Brouwer yet. But he needs to start stepping it up over these last 10 games and be a big positive in the playoffs.
