Seems like alot of money for a guy with 18 goals last season. 4.25 per?

I like what Voracek brings to the ice...
He reminds me of a better Zubrus...

Crazy isnt it? I dont fault the Flyers for making the deal. The money getting thrown around these days by everyone is crazy.

I liked his game more and more as year went on....really passed JVR as a first line winger prospect and made him expendable.
Good signing if they can get it done.

I agree.. good solid guy.. I think his goal total is going to go up a bit moving forward, he will be a 20+ goal scorer.

Compensation is the same a Lupul, and I think that is about right.

Voracek is solid. He is still very young and is on the verge of a break out season. This could be a very good deal for both. As of right now he is going to be slotted top play Giroux's wing which should increase his points tremendously. Voracek is also a very reliable defensive player. 4.25 is a good number.

Very good signing by them, especially if they put up on Giroux's wing.

JVR was magnificent in the playoffs one year, too...

The salaries that players are getting should almost be considered white noise at this point with how they have escalated, unless it's an obvious overpayment, and this is clearly not.

so Giroux makes $3.75M/year and Voracek makes $4.25M/year.

Hartnell only makes $4M/year.

without looking it up, I think that makes Voracek the second highest paid forward on the team.

Great signing by the Flyers, love Voracek's game. Hes a crafty forward who can play both ends of the ice. Now that he should get top line minutes I think he is going to have a very good season.

Was hoping the B's would nab him in his draft year. He seemed to come into his own last year. Market value contract for him.
