Versteeg is a good hockey player who is in a slump. He's still one of the team's best play-makers and he's been improving game-by-game since his horrendous start. He's also got the cheapest contract of any forward on the team not named Mark Jankowski or Curtis Lazar. Aside from his powerplay usage, which I agree is bad this year, what is there not to like?

He's really not very good anymore.
To me Versteeg is a player who's game is in real decline this year. His shot has become a serious muffin and he's clearly lost a step skating wise from last year, and he often has committed some horrific turnovers this year.
