yup.. and last year the flames finished 10th I believe overall in the PP.
in the ten games immediately following the Versteeg injury, the flames went "10 games without the veteran playmaker, the Flames are 3-for-32 on the power play."

while the PP has looked a bit better of late, i think Versteeg was an important part of it...
As for whose spots he'd take, i guess it would be a pipedream to say Brouwer? Chances are it would be Lazar's spot
