Are you really surprised that a guy who was a 3rd liner in most stops, including being down to a healthy scratch throughout the 2015 Playoffs, suddenly gets to play 1st Power Play and basically be a puck hog on said PP, as well as play on a line with a 20 year old skilled-grinder center regularly deferring to him, is suddenly having fun playing hockey again? Do you think Versteeg would have the same message if his usage were more like Sam Bennett, alternating spot minutes on the 2nd power play with Michael Frolik? If he were playing with Matt Stajan and Lance Bouma?
