Confirmed Trade: [PHI/CBJ] Cam Atkinson for Jakub Voracek

[BrindamoursNose]

I mean the Eagles fit the description right now pretty decently as well

I'm not worried about the Eagles - they'll be winning the NFC East (I know - shocking).

Seattle ownership didn’t like how much money he was making.

They just bought a team for what, $400 million? They could've retained a little bit and only for 3 years, they would've gotten a decent return worth it. Instead they chose an AHLer who won't return silch.

Voracek is cancer. I doubt the return on him will be what Flyer fans would expect.

He definitely isn’t a cancer. Come on.

Both guys have declined. It’s really saving AAV versus saving a year of contract.

Voracek is cancer. I doubt the return on him will be what Flyer fans would expect.

I've seen posts like this a few times now, what's wrong with Voracek off ice?

This is awkward. Posted a few days ago

I feel like Philly is going to lose even more picks/prospects to downgrade from Voracek to Atkinson.

Sure, you save some cap space, but Philly is hemorrhaging assets right now.

I'd argue Atkinson is a better player in terms of two way.

Wow stupid from Columbus stand point. Get older and more expensive.

There isn't anything wrong with him off ice.

Great move by Philly. Would much rather have Atkinson.

 

[Armourboy]

The devil will be in the details.

We don't even know what the deal is lol

 

[Macch]

Philly has to be adding something big here right ?

Atkinson is actually older than Voracek. I was surprised by that fact myself but it’s true

But Atkinson is older?

Atkinson is older than Voraceck.

So you know nothing about either player then lol

He definitely isn’t a cancer. Come on.

There was never any evidence he was a cancer, he seemed well liked by his teammates. But there were definitely question marks just how strong of a leader he was. Seemed like a bit of a hothead to be honest and at times I just felt he was a distraction.

Does Chuck Fletcher do it?...does he?....drops the BOOM and trades Giroux as well

 

[Sweetpotato]

It's rumored both are involved, just from that it's a nice swap.

With Keks involved i bet he's going to take Fletcher to the cleaners.

Meh. Details

 

[cyris]

I wouldn’t call him a cancer but he does read HF boards and make vague threatening comments towards guys who criticize him. Not exactly healthy behaviour lol

 

[bobbythebrain]

Fletch is a monster. He needs to be stopped

 

[JKG33]

Meh. Details

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story

Doesn't make him a cancer. Just gives him a personality.
