Epic Cage Match – Comparing Voracek vs. Tarasenko in fantasy hockey
What better way for weekly Cage Matches to make their return than by featuring two players likely helping many fantasy GMs be perched atop their leagues – Vladimir Tarasenko and Jakub Voracek. Not only will I determine who's the better fantasy own, but I'll also see if either player's production is likely to further improve, fall, or stay similar to what it is now. This important Cage Match starts now!
Career Path and Contract Status/Cap Implications
It's hard to believe Voracek is in his seventh NHL campaign, let alone to remember he was originally drafted – and played three seasons for – the Blue Jackets, who selected him seventh overall in 2007. While there, Voracek was a 45-50 point player; and he tallied only 49 points in his first Flyer campaign, leaving many wondering if that might be his ceiling. But then he jumped to 46 points in 48 games in 2012-13, before dipping to 62 points in 82 games last season. After a summer which saw him apparently focus on fitness and nutrition, Voracek has become a top NHL scorer.
