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?

Versteeg was out of the league before he couldn't get a contract prior to last season. And only because he couldn't get insurance did he come back and accept a pto and got a last minute job. He then got a bunch of pp points riding Monahan and Gaudreau and the rest is history. Useless 5 on 5 and a fringe nhler.
