No. He's a good Top 6 winger, but he's not elite. His contract will be a problem in a few years, but is fine for now.

Flyers could move him (or JVR) to SEA with a 3rd probably as he's definitely still serviceable. He'll routinely put up 50-65 points with PP1 time

How about we make a video of all his turnovers. It would be 100 times longer than that video.

Actually, Voracek is turning the puck over far less this season, he's not doing the "skate the cycle" thing nearly as often, he's going to the net instead of hanging on the perimeter and he's back checking more consistently.

To me he's a veteran who's accepting that his skills are slowly eroding and learning how to play power forward instead of trying to play a small man's game - a sign of maturity and a hint that AV has been able to get through to him and help him modify his style of play as he ages.

Now if he could just develop a more consistent wrist shot!
