The Flyers have acquired forward Kris Versteeg from the Toronto Maple Leafs for a 1st and 3rd round pick in the upcoming NHL draft. That may sound like a high price, but considering the Orange and Black would likely have been picking at the end of round 1, Versteeg is probably better than anyone they could have drafted. If the Flyers weren't deep before they are now with Versteeg in tow. Last year he helped the Blackhawks defeat the Flyers in the stanley cup finals and now he can help bring the cup here. He's a power forward can score goals in bunches, and create scoring opportunities for others and himself and he'll fit perfectly on the line with Mike Richards. So the bottom is that Versteeg is definite upgrade for this team and time will tell whether he's that last peace needed for a cup.
