He has played for four different teams over the past three seasons and should be in line for a nice contract after setting career highs in goals and points during the 2011-12 season. His hip injury is not expected to be a problem by the start of the 2012-13 season, but it's worth monitoring his progress to make sure that the recovery process goes as planned.","date":"Sat Apr 28"},"fullName":"Kris Versteeg","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Versteeg's production as a fantasy asset hinges on his role in the Florida Panthers' depth chart. As a top-six member with the Chicago Blackhawks and Toronto Maple Leafs, Versteeg consistently clipped along at a 50-point pace, which is solid production for a bench fantasy player. In a 27-game sample as a third-line player with the Philadelphia Flyers at the end of last season, Versteeg's output dropped considerably. Watch how the Panthers' lines shake out in training camp and consider Versteeg as a late pick if he emerges on the team's top line. There is an open competition for the top line, though, so Versteeg is no shoo-in.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Sep 9"},"playerRater30DAY":3.5,"playerRater15DAY":5.8,"positionRank":23}
