Over/under on how many pages of this thread are wasted discussing Jake Voracek's possibly being elite?

WHO GIVES A (frank)!!!

All I know is that he is an excellent player and we should be happy to have him on the roster.
- BiggE

shades of the "carter is a top player" debate

That is fine, but what blows me (and obviously others) away is what you think it takes to be an elite player. Out of your elite list of players...would you seriously rather have any of those guys on the Flyers more than Voracek?
- YuenglingJagr

Kane, yes.
Perry, yes.
If Jagr and Hossa were 26 years old again, yes.
Nash...debatable but I'm gonna say yes. Nash can score and do a lot of really good things as a big man.

Is Benn or Seguin playing wing right now?

Matt Cooke is a Capital?
- BulliesPhan87

Hahha actually not that far off.


Oh and btdubs.. I googled it.

This is strictly facetious.

I am not comparing these two players.

Bastard. I was obviously referring to that Wilson Wilson guy.
- jak521

woooow, double Wilson

Is Jake Voracek equal to Peter Forsberg, when Forsberg was 23 to 26? Google it! Go!

Other than Kane, which RWers are elite and which RWers are better than Jake?

Shane Stephenson. Kids got HOF alllll over him.

How far is not far off? Keep in mind games played. Forsberg never had a healthy season.

Hextall said at the beginning of the season that D prospects will trickle up to the NHL throughout the season....it's like GoT trailers...I JUST WANNA KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN
- YuenglingJagr

FWIW, here is my best guess

Provorov: makes the team out of camp next season

Morin: gets a taste at the end of this season, comes up for good sometime during 16-17.

Sanheim: gets a game or 2 next year as an injury call up, comes up for good sometime during the 17-18 season.

Kane, yes.
Perry, yes.
If Jagr and Hossa were 26 years old again, yes.
Nash...debatable but I'm gonna say yes. Nash can score and do a lot of really good things as a big man.

Oh my god, I'm not answering this for the 3rd time this morning.

yes, in fact please rank all seasons played by all right wingers in NHL history

big, if true

FWIW, here is my best guess

I will have to agree here. I think Alt gets some time at the end of this season as well....what I really wonder is who is gone though? Surely we have to take the opportunity to get rid of some of these guys

Here I will try this one last time.

I.
I am.
I am not.
I am not comparing.
I am not comparing Jake.
I am not comparing Jake and.
I am not comparing Jake and Peter.

I googled it an Jagr and Hossa are not 26 years old
- YuenglingJagr

Can I ask why we care if Voracek is elite or not?

Isn't the better question...Are the Flyers a better team with or without Voracek?

This is why I never get attached to players. All I care about is if my team wins or loses and if "Player A" helps the team or not.

I googled it an Jagr and Hossa are not 26 years old
- YuenglingJagr

Yet both can score and pass while knocking on the door of 40 years old.

Now if Provorov, Morin and Sanheim would just get here, we'd actually have a quality D.
- BiggE

What if Sanheim is as good as Ghost, but five inches taller and 25 pounds heavier?

FWIW, here is my best guess

Provorov: makes the team out of camp next season

Morin: gets a taste at the end of this season, comes up for good sometime during 16-17.

Sanheim: gets a game or 2 next year as an injury call up, comes up for good sometime during the 17-18 season.
- BiggE

Exactly how I see it.

I think Morin gets another half season of AHL time.

A lot also depends on this offseason.

Wow, are you really comparing Player A to Peter Forsberg?

Kind of agree.

I think depending on where the Flyers are at the TDL and who is moved you could also maybe see Hagg up at the end of the year.

You said you looked up the answer and instead of giving it to me, you typed this instead...
