Flyers Sign Jakub Voracek to One-Year Deal

The Philadelphia Flyers have announced that they have signed right wing Jakub Voracek to a one-year contract worth $2.25 million. He was acquired by the Flyers from the Columbus Blue Jackets on June 23 in exchange for Jeff Carter and the Blue Jackets' first and third round picks in the 2011 Entry Draft. In 80 games last season with Columbus, he had 14 goals and 32 assists for 46 points. This is an excellent signing for the Flyers, as Voracek will bring lots of offensive skill to the team. He also has plenty of scoring upside and a good shot. However, he tends be a little inconsistent in his scoring, so hopefully playing on a more offensively skilled team will help him add some consistency to his offensive game.
