Fun Fact: Even with Versteeg in the lineup this team couldn't score enough.
When Versteeg went down with injury (November 24th) the Flames were 23rd in the league in Goals For. That was with the team sitting 7th in PP goals!!
Since Versteeg's injury, the Flames have gone from a 21.6% PP, good for 12th in the league in PP%, to 13.4% without him in the lineup, 30th overall in the entire NHL. The only team worse is the Oilers, obviously, but that's unacceptable for a team with playoff pixies dancing in their eyes.

This raises an interesting question. Should the Flames add at the deadline?
I am curious what CP thinks about this question. I was wondering if the mods could make a poll asking what the Flames should do at the deadline? Buy, Sell, or stay pat?
Edit: if there is interest in this debate, I can make a thread myself, after I am back from work, rather then asking other busy people to do it.
