I have Voracek and have been offered Vanek. I like Vanek and we all know his real ceiling (55-65 pts). Is Voracek's ceiling higher?

Since goals and A's count the same, I would take Voracek here.

Great situation and upside in the high 70's - Vanek aint goin there anymore IMO

Vanek would garner more points this season, especially goals. Vanek also has the higher ceiling. But going fwd, I think each will have similar point totals over a full season; in the 64-67 point range. I would take the younger Voracek here. He's still growing as a player and is in an incredible position playing alongside Giroux. We've seen the best from Vanek.

In 4 seasons Voracek has yet to score 20 goals and has reached the 50 pt mark once. Yes he is talented, yes hes only 23 and potentially he could do some damage. But I really suggest the expectations for Voracek be tempered. No way should this even be a question, Vanek is the much better option in virtually all league formats.

Vanek for me, hands down. Unless it's a salary cap league.

vanek if your going for the win now and like the safe bet. otherwise bet on voracek breaking out on giroux's line.
more gamble on voracek but higher potential imo.

Vanek is a safe bet for 60 and is capable of hitting 80. Voracek *may* do that one day.

I know Voracek has been pegged for the top line but why can't a guy like Schenn steal the spot?

In a goal heavy league I would take Vanek but everywhere else I would take Voracek.
