Funny how that works." Objective much? - glgbill Thu, 17 Feb 2011 15:15:01 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3466-the-dub-club-kris-versteeg#comment-11970 Great article dub! well done. I am excited to see versteeg join the flyers. I think he is the perfect compliment to Richards as they both play a similar game. the flyers have been in search for a winger for richards for a few years and i think they may have found it. Last night against Fla he looked really good. Still some rust and getting used to the system but the one thing i liked was his intention to pass the puck in tight spaces. Everyone also needs to keep in mind how complicated Laviolettes system is and how long it took players to understand it last year. Some patience for Versteeg is necessary as he learns the system. I think your timetable of about 10 games left in the regular season is spot on for him to be comfortable enough with the system his creativity can come out. - TheRook Thu, 17 Feb 2011 03:26:17 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3466-the-dub-club-kris-versteeg#comment-11961 Yes, when i thought you might not be right about 60 points what i had on my mind was 55points :) But when i re-considered that it is gonna be his 4th season (we all know what dobberhockey preach about that) you will most likely be right. Also one thing we forgot to mention is that with such strong PK units he can chip some extra valuable SH points ;) - Michal Sk Wed, 16 Feb 2011 21:00:34 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3466-the-dub-club-kris-versteeg#comment-11959 With the exception of the section about Burke's motivation to trade him I think you hit the nail on the head pretty well. Personally, I think many teams were interested in Versteeg for a lot of the reasons you highlighted. Many teams that may have been on the fence about him in the summer and wanted to know how he did outside Chicago go their answers as he proved he can produce pretty well, even on a bad team. I think that he garnered a lot of interest. Philly was willing to give up the most - or specifically what Toronto wanted, picks to fill the cupboard, which is/will be getting bare with all the call-ups. As of today, I don't think you can really argue that it was overpayment by Philly if the likes of Chris Kelly gets a 2nd rounder, albeit BOS is betting it is a late 2nd rounder. Philly is banking on the same, with the 1st surrendered to Toronto being virtually equivalent to a 2nd rounder. Overall, an intelligent and enjoyable read. - Jon Dey Wed, 16 Feb 2011 10:23:13 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3466-the-dub-club-kris-versteeg#comment-11958 lol, no I didn't copy it. I have a couple different sources for data that I frequent. Sometimes I check the wiki stuff, but I've never added to it either. There are a few things I'm noticing on there that I also noticed, but didn't want to mention considering how long my article was already running. Some of those were: -Versteeg played 3 seasons with Brent Seabrook in the WHL. -His name was misspelt on the Cup. (seriously, we're still doing this?) -Versteeg has sang (sung?) Fergie, LMFAO, and Kanye West in public, which to me would show that he isn't a shy guy. That is helpful in the locker room. - duballstar014 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 09:50:34 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3466-the-dub-club-kris-versteeg#comment-11956 You sir could make a huge contribution to his Wiki page, either that or you copied it? - Adrian Keogh Wed, 16 Feb 2011 09:24:21 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3466-the-dub-club-kris-versteeg#comment-11955 You might be right Michal, but if he were to hit 60 points next year, Philly is the place it would happen. Watching him score 20+ goals (assuming he scores 6 more this year in the 26 remaining Flyer games) in each of his first three years makes me think he has to be a 50-60 point player next season. I might be off by about 5 points, but I honestly don't think it'll be more than that. Then again, it is just my opinion. :) - duballstar014 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 09:22:52 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3466-the-dub-club-kris-versteeg#comment-11954 You might not be right about Versteeg scoring 60 points next year but this is pleasure to read..kudos to Duballstar! - Michal Sk Wed, 16 Feb 2011 09:11:14 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3466-the-dub-club-kris-versteeg#comment-11952 Wow - what an article!
