[Signing] UPD 3: Versteeg signs with Växjö (SHL)

Damn I was hoping he was going to get into broadcasting and replace Francis on the broadcasts

Kris Versteeg has been doing very well since going to Vaxjo. 11 points in 12 games to finish the regular season and now 2 goals and 4 points in 2 playoff games. Playing on a line with Roman Horak.

He has a goal and 2 assists in Game 2 of Vaxjo's first-round series against Orebro right now. It's 3-1 in the second period.

Versteeg is now leading the SHL in playoff scoring after finishing fifth in regular season P/GP.

He's been a beast for Växjö. 4-2 win, he scores 2 goals and 2 assists. Up to 5 points in 2 games. Wonder if he garners renewed NHL interest after the season.

I sure hope so. His talent is still easily NHL level, he’s just unfortunately been hurt so many times in his career. I’d love to see him back in the league.

I bet Edmonton would happily sign him. Would be an immediate upgrade in their top 9.

Don't do it Steeger!

This is only a 4 team play-in to the quarter finals though. The best teams don't enter the playoffs until the next round.

Sorry for Scorpion, but Versteeg only had 1 point in five QF games and his team is out of the SHL playoffs.

Yeah I saw the highlights... fell off a bit there at the end. Oh well
