The Columbus Blue Jackets have traded forward Cam Atkinson to the Philadelphia Flyers for Jakub Voracek.
The 32-year old Atkinson was drafted 157th overall in the 6th round of the 2008 draft. He carries a $5.875 million.
The 31-year old Voracek was drafted 7th overall in the 1st round of the 2007 draft. He carries an $8.25 million salary cap hit.
Charlie O’Connor: “Atkinson and Voracek are both 1989 birthdays (Atkinson a little older but only by a few months). Atkinson is the better two-way player at this point; Voracek the better scorer.
