I like what Verteeg brought last year, particularly for his salary, but I don't think he's a #1 or #2 line winger in the league anymore, and wasn't played in that role for the Flames last year.

Versteeg is what he's always been - he's a very good 2nd/3rd line winger. He scored 34 points last year but he only played 69 games. Two years ago, he scored 34 in 61.
His knock is, he always misses 10-20 games a year, and you can't commit term to people like that. He's the perfect veteran free agent signing.
