Voracek is washed up.... A half of his points are secondary assists. Jackets shoulda try to get someone else this overpaid

No, he's still a really good playmaker and is hard to get off the puck. The issue is that he's ridiculously hesitant to shoot and will force a pass if nothing is open. He's also below par defensively. Not "washed up" but not a top-10 playmaker any more, either.

Jake ain’t winning the selke but he upped his d game the last few seasons Wish he would shoot more and take control of shifts more often as he did now and than. Jagr was a great influence on his game The fans will love him back in Columbus He had some great moments in Philly

So when do you trade Zach Werenski? Have to assume he is good as gone after next season - two years from UFA.

Turbo charge the rebuild into the next couple drafts. Or hang on to him and drag it out over the next 3-5 drafts?

I have the feeling Larson might ask his first line to forgo any defensive assignments , Laine -mystery center- Voracek makes for a poor two way line . It's clear as day V (long time I didn't use that nickname) has been brought in to facilitate Laine , who has no notion of what it means to back check.

The line I would be interested in seeing is:

Laine-Roslovic-Voracek

That would be the best line seen in Columbus for a while.
