If someone came into camp and unexpectedly lighted it up, I'm sure there's room to adjust.
If not, his contract is over after next season, which as everyone's been discussing, is one of the big positives of this contract.

Again, it is a good value signing. Versteeg was brought in just prior to the start of the regular season because CGY didn't have a skilled winger who could produce at the NHL level. Players developing in the system were not ready or were previously sent out (for various reasons).
So I agree not a roadblock but a stop gap. Meaning vets brought in because internal options are not ready.
Centres like Bennett and Jankowski will need good wingers to play with. Ideally young guys the system developed so they can grow together long term.
