I have enjoyed Versteeg's time as a Flame, I also wondered why he couldn't hold an NHL job for the longest time as he has boat loads of skill, but I am starting to see the Versteeg of old, not the Versteeg who was trying to find his way back to the NHL and willing to do whatever it took to get out of Edmonton.
I feel the same way about Versteeg actually. Was just torn between a bottom line of Verteeg - Stajan - Lazar and Stajan - Lazar - Brouwer.

Ultimately, for the price tag, I'd rather Versteeg.
