Don’t understand that trade for either team. I guess Atkinson may have a few years left, I don’t know

Voracek wanted out of Philly. My BIL Flyers fan wanted him gone for a while.

Plus Voracek's son + ex-wife (or ex-spouse?, not sure if they were married) apparently live in Columbus...

Per wiki
As a child, Voráček wanted to be a garbage man. In 2017, his sister gave him a Christmas gift of the opportunity to ride a trash truck while the garbage men worked their route. Voráček has two children: son Jakub Jr. born in 2016 to former girlfriend Nicole Warnecke and son Matěj born in 2019 with current girlfriend Markéta Burešová. He is a big fan of Bruce Springsteen.

Yep, I did not follow the whole saga closely, but from what I remember he acted really badly toward the first lady. It was quite a big scandal in Czech tabloids...

A person makes a bad mistake as a young man. Displays genuine remorse and seems like he’s committed to becoming a better person.

The world: “f*** that guy. he doesn’t deserve to have a job that he likes. Make him wait one more year, even though none of the details will change”.

Let the kid get drafted and have a life for god’s sake. This planet…

Who are you talking about? That kid drafted then released by AZ for being an unrepentant bully?

Just read about him. Sounds like he's publicly repenting and saying he's not ready to be drafted so it was dumb of the Habs to draft him. Hopefully he sits out and the Habs lose their pick.

That's a water is wet headline.

Re: Voracek/Atkinson. Neither are very impactful 5-on-5 anymore so this trade is a nothing burger for me

Voracek is way better. But yeah, minimal impact either way.

It's been a really weird offseason. Between Seattle doing whatever the F they did and teams making some really weird trades (for both sides) I don't know what to think. Maybe I'm just out of touch on player values anymore.

Outside of the jackets landing boqvist, bean, and #12 overall for Jones and #32, I'm head scratching.

Yea i mean, look at Buffalo. They got a ransommmmm for Risto and got minimal return for Reinhart

Honestly, i think the whole "hockey is moving to bigger bodies" have infected GMs brains way too much. Yes, being bigger is important now...but you also need to know how to play hockey. The Pens wouldn't having been any better with Gudbranson on the blue line.

I dont hate the idea of a cheap flier. Although he must be a real dick if it was that pressing to buy out 1 year at 2.5M

The Canucks are parting ways with the under-performing Virtanen after six seasons. He was placed on leave on May 1 after being accused in a lawsuit of sexually assaulting a women four years earlier.
