You know it actually takes skill to score on the powerplay, right? Versteeg finished top-20 last season in PPG/GP, not an easy feat, and he's always been incredibly cheap.
Versteeg is also one of the team's best passers -- that hasn't changed this season. It's not his fault that he plays with two of the worst finishers on the team. His on-ice shooting percentage is literally 3.8%, one of the worst in the entire league. There's not a lot he can do there.
I know you're looking for an excuse to #### on him in a slump, but how about you look at facts for a change instead of calling anyone who disagrees with your opinions delusional?
