For Versteeg, it is really going to depend on cost and term. On a short "show me" deal, he was great, but he has an inconsistent history. We shouldn't forget that last season, he was all but out of the league until Edmonton gave him a PTO.

If Versteeg is going to get more than $2.5 million, I would be inclined to see what else is out there. And I suspect some team will offer him a lot.

Same thing with Stone really. He fit pretty good last season, but I don't see him as a $4 million player on the Flames. You can't spend that on a 5th/6th defenseman, and I don't suspect he will want to take a big pay cut.
