Yeah, that was a bad move acquiring that guy. Glad we were able to get a first from Philly (which turned into Biggs, no?) for him, but he was clearly disinterested and even alluded from the get-go that his heart was still with CHI after winning the cup.
He'll do well in FLA: no pressure, lots of ice-time, cool blonde highlights in his wavy surfer hair. - gravyface
yeah, he didnt want to play here.. that was pretty obvious

was the Modin deal really bad?
A 3rd liner for a 3rd pairing d-man and a 5th....
Maybe i'm missing something - cor99
Modin was not a 3rd liner in Tampa. he put a few 30-goal seasons. i think it ties into the "never having good wingers for Sundin." here was a good winger and fellow Swede and the Leafs dealt him for a depth D.

He was a mediocre player in Toronto though: for every player that "turns it around" on a new team, there's two that don't. Bad trade in hindsight, but nothing you can do about it (except write about it 10 years later in a blog I guess?)

fair enough. you never know if he would have developed into that player in Toronto. but did he ever get a real shot to play with Sundin? i assume in TB he spent a lot of time riding shotgun with Lecavalier and Richards.

Versteeg would have worked out fine, had the leafs properly used him. He's not a 1st line guy. The media, fans expected too much from him.

Pretty much every game he was moved between the 3 lines...he should have just stayed on the 2nd and been giving a chance to adjust.
But it doesn't matter now, it's all worked out for him, fun in the sun, he's scoring again, the leafs got a late first for him....water under the bridge now.
