i know that not everyone has a subscription, but they ran a cool story on Versteeg and how he's back playing. Finally feeling 100% again he played a bit in Sweden and did well enough to get signed to an AHL contract with the Blackhawks while putting a career in broadcasting on the backburner.
a couple of qoutes

For some athletes in the twilight of their careers, TV can be a lifeline, a way to stay tangentially connected to the game that’s defined their entire lives. For Versteeg, it was different. He liked it. And he was good at it.

And yet, to see him flying around the rink in the opening days of training camp, it’s not too much of a stretch to imagine him donning a Blackhawks jersey at some point for the third time in his career.

Cool to read - Always liked Versteeg. it would be awesome to see him be healthy enough to get another shot at the NHL.
