I'd actually be intrigued in buying low on Versteeg. Remember Justin Williams, at 27 was beset by injuries and was a buy low by the Kings. That's turned out well... Not to suggest the two are the same but it's low risk for a guy at $2.2m.
Versteeg, Shaw, Leddy and 2015 1st for Desjardins and Thornton?
(Sure, I'd prefer Hjalmarsson but doubt he's available.)
The more I think about it, the more I would be against a trade like that.
None of those assets is likely to be a core piece going forwards. The 2015 pick is going to be late. Leddy is a #3-4 guy. Shaw is similar to Tommy Wingels.
TT on the other hand, is exactly the kind of asset who could be a core piece going forwards. The Sharks got a first, Alyn McCauley, and Brad Boyes for Owen Nolan. I'd look to get a first, Leddy, and TT for Thornton. Especially if the Sharks eat salary or take Bickell's contract.
