I've thought since the beginning of the season they should have Versteeg on the right side with those two - for an extended period of time (I realize it was tried earlier).
I think with a couple games to gel that line could resemble the Hudler-Monahan-Gaudreau line. Versteeg works well with Monny and has the intelligence to keep up with both of them.
Wish we'd see that because having them play like a top line would be a big boost with how well Baclkund's line is playing.

I've actually thought Chaisson's been getting better and better on that line recently, and I don't think he's holding them back at all. Now I agree, he's far from the ideal first line RW, he's playing out of position right now for sure. An upgrade would of course be ideal.
However, not sure I agree with the square peg analogy. I actually think he's the right type of player, but it would be better if he was more offensively gifted.
