Voracek (concussion) is not expected to resume his NHL career, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports, resulting in Arizona acquiring his contract from Columbus on Thursday along with a 2023 sixth-round pick in exchange for Jon Gillies.
Scouting Report
One of the best playmaking forwards in the NHL, even in his 30s, his passing skills open up all kinds of scoring opportunities for his linemates. However, there are times when he would be better off shooting the puck himself instead of trying to find an open teammate. Is usually defensively responsible, creative and a hard worker. Can play either wing position.
Long Range Potential: Outstanding playmaking winger.
