Weird how certain players can be so solid, yet completely fall off a cliff in terms of ability. I don't mean to pee on the guy's grave, but Versteeg was one of those players, at least in my view -- came out like gang busters early in his career as a 20-goal scoring, solid 3rd liner, but never really regained his form. But he was huge in 2010 -- scored some massive goals in the playoffs that year. If I remember correctly, he could even throw down on occasion. Didn't fare so well when he was brought back -- like every other retread Bowman reacquired -- but again, I was so bummed to see him leave due to cap reason after 2010. In the end, maybe it was a blessing in disguise he didn't stick around.
