Confirmed Trade: [PHI/CBJ] Cam Atkinson for Jakub Voracek
- Thread starter MMC
- Start date
Hopefully this helps get Laine going.
Laine - Roslovic - Voracek ?
Laine - Roslovic - Voracek ?
I was just reading an article on Jack Roslovic yesterday in the Hockey News where they said he and Atkinson had become good friends. Wonder what this trade does for Roslovic's mindset next year.
Voracek will get Laine a lot of easy looks for one timers.

I guess they are allowed to stay friends.
I guess Voracek is slightly younger and has a year less on his contract? Maybe CBJ thinks he can help Laine?
Philly I guess gets a guy at a lower cap hit.
Hockey trades!

I thought Jake's contract was up sooner, so my initial reaction was in favor of the Jackets. But, both contracts are big. Jake fits better with the current Jackets team and they could use that talent on the other wing. Good move.
I think Cam will be awesome in Philly, unfortunately.

as a flyers fan i like this. jake doesnt score enough and cam has scored 30-40 goals a couple times. jake is a floater whenever i watch him
Roslovic is from Columbus. I have no worries there.
Laine's new Blake Wheeler or so. Columbus just needs one star center now for their top line.

Did JFresh tweet each player's WAR chart yet? I can't know what to make of this until that happens
Maybe all 3 of them wouldn't always play together ES, but it would be fun to see them on PP together.

Reducing the number of years on contracts during a rebuild and also bringing in a better player than the one going out. Philly saves some cap space the next 3 years but added a 4th year on a declining player. Cam has not been a good player for 2 years. Great on the PK but otherwise he's been pretty brutal. Could just be Columbus but I guess we'll find out. He's streaky, that's for sure. So if he starts with 10 goals the first month, don't be surprised if he's still sitting on 10 goals in the 3rd month.

Not getting futures in a flat cap world for a player with 4 years of term at $5.85MM AAV. CBJ still needs to hit the floor and this does that without taking a downgrade (actually getting an upgrade) in talent. It's a good move for CBJ to have one less year on the deal given the rebuild and there is little need for big contracts the next few years.

In fact I really like it for Columbus. Bjorkstrand, laine, voracek, nyquist on the wings. All the young upside in defence with two great goaltenders. Much more excited for next year. Also it's been said for Voracek, but Atkinson hasn't come close to living up to his contract from a business standpoint I'm happy he is gone.
