Not entirely surprising. Not exactly the highest priority at the moment but also perhaps no interest -- although, unlike Stajan, it seems he has not been informed that he will not be offered a contract.

It is definitely time to move on from Versteeg. The Flames need to look for upgrades on the bottom six.

I’m not surprised either. I kinda figured he wouldn’t be back. Great contributor when healthy but last year never seemed to get going for very long

I'm sure they'll wait until a few days after July 1 to see what else they can do. Versteeg definitely seems like a great plan b.

Plan F-

I don't see where he would fit on the team any longer, especially with the Flames rumored to have another player on the way. I liked Versteeg, but you have to wonder about his injury history and how it may effect his game now.



If he would be ok with limited games, I say re-sign him, but I don't see room for him to be a fixture on any line, with the exception of Brouwer who I hope either manages to find success under a new coach, or becomes the 13th forward.

Stajan has been told by the Flames that he is guaranteed not to get a contract offer of any kind?

That about sums it up. Played his part well but the Flames need some new faces on the 3rd-4th lines.

If it was his second hip surgery/issue that kept him on the sidelines, I would say thanks for the service Versteeg. Just too much of a risk for the Flames to waste a contract spot on. Time to move on.

[agulati]

I think the Flames have better options than Versteeg. Thanks for the services Kris. Unfortunately injuries derailed his seasons with the Flames.

I feel good about it, on the whole.

[TheIronMaiden]

I enjoyed having Versteeg on this team. He seems like a good guy. He contributed and had good effort. I hope that some other team gives him a shot.

[Buff]

His cousin told me that Kris wants to keep playing, and would love to play with the Flames but he also doesn't think it will happen in Calgary.

[Snuffleupagus]

Versteeg is still only 32, he still could be a good 4th line RW with some occasional PP help. invite him on a PTO and see how his rehab went and what kind of shape he's in.

[nightfx]

If he wasn't made of glass I would love to have him back.

Big fan of steeger long before he was a flame. Injuries and foot speed might limit his future. Good luck going forward. Flames needed a little charm in the room.
