Default Read or Voracek?

Which Philly RWer would you want?

Stats similar to league in sig (minus blocks).

Voracek seems to come into each season with a ton of promise, yet continues to disappoint each year. His ice time has dropped...while Read's seems to be climbing.

I currently own Voracek...considering dropping him for Read?

I would take Voracek. He's got more of a pedigree and I think he will be better. It's early.

I would keep Voracek. He is the more talented player. I would wait at least a couple of more games before dropping him. Let him get used to playing in the NHL again.

Read for the win! Voracek is all sizzle, no steak. As I've continued to say, Voracek can't shoot. He has good size, and obvious skill but he's a poor shooter and isn't consistent in getting to the dirty areas, winning battles and scoring goals. If you play with a play maker like Giroux you need to be able to shoot. Read is tenacious and is a good shooter. If I had to bet he's going to hang onto that top line RW spot. I didn't get a chance to mention his presence in my Cage Match article last week but I really was wondering why he wasn't getting a shot on that line when clearly neither Schenn nor Voracek was working perfectly. I'm hoping Read sticks on that top line permanently.

Yes, yes and yes.

I think Voracek is great but he's not working on the line with Giroux. He doesn't shoot, he's not a go-getter or a real hard worker. Read, on the other hand, is the opposite.

I'll be REALLY surprised to see what they do with Read in a year and a half. My guess? They get rid of Voracek in a package for a D-man or Bobby Ryan and resign Read long term.

I'll go... Read.
I've hitched my wagon to the Voracek train plenty of times... he's just not clicking.
Read seems to have enough hockey sense to at least be able to adapt to his linemates.
I think I've evaluated Read too low in previous looks.
