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

[uncleben]

The devil will be in the details.

No, no. It's Flyers and Blue Jackets

 

[bobbythebrain]

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

It's fantastic

 

[Drew311]

Voracek officially takes back his trade request.

 

[ClevelandJacketFan]

Cam isn't as good without someone to set him up, and the Jackets have too many of those players.

I'd happily take Jake for Cam.

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

Is it a quality of assets, or a quantity of assets?

Is it a quality of assets, or a quantity of assets?

Yes

 

[BonMorrison]

voracek: ay i want a trade

fletcher: aight we sending you to the jackets

voracek: k but not like that

 

[PromisedLand]

Philly does gain a bit of cap space if it is 1 for 1

[Gurglesons]

lol. what

 

[Empoleon8771]

Oh then, that's fine for Philly then. Basically got free cap space with this move.

What in the hell is Jarmo doing?

 

[Curufinwe]

Anyone debating the merits of this trade based on the two month 10 day difference in age is being absurd.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Flyers take a lesser cap hit but take Atkinson’s extra year.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Oh then, that's fine for Philly then. Basically got free cap space with this move.

Worse player, though.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Voracek asked for a trade, and Philly gets a more natural goal scorer. It's an interesting trade.

 

[DJA]

What in the hell is Jarmo doing?

Rebuilding?

 

[Empoleon8771]

Worse player, though.

I think Atkinson is still good enough where the saved cap space is worth the downgrade.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Does Atkinson suck ?

 

[Armourboy]

Don't really understand it for Columbus but ok.

 

[JKG33]

Philly gets the worse player but saves a couple million

 

[IranCondraAffair]

Jarmo gets the better player but the worse contract. Shaves off a year of term, which is nice.

Edit: I'll add that teh cap hit is worse, but the actual dollars are closer. Voracek was front loaded a bit. He was only owed about 7M per year in actual salary. Which is all Columbus cares about.

 

[Gurglesons]

Does Atkinson suck ?

No. But his goalscoring has fallen off.

 

[One Winged Angel]

Rebuilding?

With this move? Doesn’t look like a rebuilding move. Get futures for Atkinson then.

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

Ron Francis keeps on taking L's.

He drafted someone in the 2nd round (3rd pick of the 2nd round) who was ranked #192, that's a huge reach. He's wasting so many assets.
