Philly...Chi fans' problem with Versteeg is his low hockey IQ, too many ill-advised blueline turnovers, and the like...He HAS shown some chemistry with Kane, but, has not been a factor recently.

As far as Sharp goes, he has had a tough year, and Q seems too stubborn to give HIM Kane as a line mate, like Kane with Toews, Kane with Sharp has been a proven combo before. It seems apparent that Sharp is getting a diminished role as he looks to be the one moved to provide cap relief. Q's logic, apparently, is to spread the offensive threats over the top 3 lines, but, until Vermette's improvement over the 1st round, Line 3 has been a disaster.
