Pass on Versteeg, he's been useless 5 on 5 most of the year, I'd rather get some size in his spot. And yes he gets points, with his pp time and TOI, he better because he doesn't do much else.

I agree Engelland is an important piece, the hang up will be price. I reckon the Flames will give him an offer, it just depends what kind of a pay cut he will be happy taking.
As per Versteeg, his spot is up for grabs for some winger in the AHL. I want to say Shinkaruk was intended for that spot this season, but he just wasnt good enough hence the Versteeg contact. However, I'm guessing that Jankowski will likely take his spot next year.
In all reality there is probably front office debate between offering a contract for Chaisson or Versteeg. I think Chaisson ticks off more boxes due to his age, size and health status.
