He'll be fine. He's already one of the best on the team at denying zone entries.

What exactly did you disagree with because I clearly stated that having another year on his deal will limit his value. What I clearly didn't say, is that teams won't be interested or that they couldn't get a nice return. So what did you disagree with?

Why is that? Look at ES minutes. The Flyers were shorthanded twice, and did not have a PP. Bellemare and VAndevelde play on the PK, Voracek does not. Voracek is second only to Giroux in icetime per game among forwards. Vandevelde and Bellemare are down the list.

Voracek's cap hit is 8+ million next year. Not worried yet about the contract being yet another albatross. but let's face it Jake got this contract based on one season.

Not really worried at all

I'm talking about recently, not the entire season.


VDV played more than Voracek last game and almost as much the game prior.

Shame is Med had an otherwise good period. He led a couple rushes, did good on the first PK, and expertly broke up a 2 on 1. Like others said, not a good play and not awful. He expected Laughton to be there instead of just hovering, and Cousins was pretty lazy defending after the turnover it looked like. Bummer. A bunk has been opened up at the labor camp for him now because no other Flyers defensemen have ROUTINELY made just as bad if not worse a play

I'm not yet. But playing him with grinders isn't really serving a purpose. Put him back with Giroux.

That's fine, as long as Luca Sbisa is no one's boy and never will be, I can live here.

VDV is averaging 14:15 per game. Too much for a journeyman. Even factoring in PK time, a guy like him should, at most, be getting 11-12 minutes per game.

He's always going to be more reliant on his linemates to score because he's not a great shooter. The PP struggling has also hurt him as well.

I'm not really concerned because his possession numbers have always been strong. I doubt we ever see him touch 80 points again, but I think it's reasonable to expect 60+ points each year
