You're not in the minority.

I've always felt Voracek is overhyped. Having said that... playing shotgun to Giroux can have magical wonders to even the most overhyped of players.

Deep down I think JVR has considerably more potential than Voracek, but he comes with his own baggage (shitty team, injury history).

Voracek for me. neither are great for the tuff guy periferials but points wont be close in my opinion.

Personally, I think both are a product of their surroundings. Both legitimate 60 - 65 points players in their own right, but possess an opportunity to be even better given their situations.

So let's compare each.

JVR is rumored to be either behind lupol on the depth chart on the LW, perhaps over taking the incumbent. The chances of him lining up at Centre is unlikely...like (I think it was) Blayze said.

Voracek is rumored to be the #1 RW flanking one of the top 5 players in the league. Even if he slips to 2nd line, he likely maintains his #1 PP minutes which he has already demonstrated his value for.

So...what situation would be better for an above average youngster with upside?
A)Winger to Giroux and opposite Hartnell (or whoever).
B)winger on the same line as Kessel...with no substantial Center?

There in lies your answer.

And while I am a masochistic Leaf fan...I'm also a Voracek Owner! Nuff said for me!

I'm not that high on either of these guys but if I had to choose, I'd take Voracek.

I like JVR, but i think voracek is the safer pick... you pretty much know what to expect.... with JVR you dont even know what line he will be on... I see him on the second line with kulimen and grabovski... not a bad line, but also not Giroux.

I'll take JVR of those two, but its close.

He's supposed to be play in the middle with Kessel and Lupul, the Leafs want to convert him to a pivot.
