It's pretty hard trying to find a good estimate as to what Versteeg would get. Trying to find other 40pt wingers (Versteeg has scored at a ~42pt pace for the last 4 years) who are PP specialists at his age and there really aren't that many to judge from. Best example might be Stempniak who signed a 2.5Mx2yr deal after putting up a 51 point performance on an 850k 1 yr show me contract at the age of 33.
Versteeg a little younger, put up a little less so around the same number depending on the years is probably the best team friendly deal we could realistically expect to re-sign Versteeg. Now it depends on if there's a team in need of offensive talent willing to go 3x3 or more or Versteeg might try to hold out for that. Looking at the free agent pool, Versteeg might be better off taking any multi year deal above 2M his way when he's got the likes of Oshie, Vrbata, Eaves, Gagner, Williams, Vanek, and PA Parenteau to compete with.
