Yeah that’s fair enough. I’ve always like Versteeg, but when he does have a flub it’s usually pretty noticeable so that might be part of it. His turnover on the powerplay against Detroit comes to mind.
All in all though I think the PP is missing his creativity and ability to keep plays alive.
Call me crazy but I think the perfect replacement would be Sam Gagner. He was a 4th liner in Columbus last year that played top line powerplay. I doubt Vancouver is looking to deal him until the deadline though
