I would suggest the coaching/system is flawed if they cannot find a way to make the existing group successful on a regular basis. It's not like the Flames have a bunch of nitwits running into each other on the top unit. These are all guys that have produced at a high level before.
Considering this significant injury will have likely reduced Versteeg's impact/abilities already, I'm not going to convince myself this will result in a 6-7% uptick in PP effectiveness (which is what it will take to make an impact at this stature of the season). I'd gladly accept being wrong on this, however, Versteeg is simply not a significant enough piece to justify putting this much stock into his return.
