Versteeg had no takers, would have been playing in Switzerland if not for Visa issues this very past summer. He's a fringe top-6 player who happened to have a bit of a bounce back on a team with terrible winger depth. Comparing him to Eberle is ridiculous, who if not for his salary, would be a welcomed addition to any team's top 6.
At least Letestu didn't have to flee to Europe to play....

I thought the comparison was Brouwer? He and Brouwer share the fact both are overpaid RW. Monahan and Letestu play centre that is where the comparison ends. Brouwer at $2.75M per and Eberle at $3.5M are different stories.
Versteeg has outscored Eberle these playoffs while playing in 5 less games so even though it took a PTO to get a deal in the league doesn't mean he is a bad player. He scores 35-40pts for $1-2M Eberle scores 50ish points for $6M. Not an asinine comparison either.
