Re: EDM - TB
Yay
Wasn't looking to trade my team captain but taking $2,9M off the books was an opportunity I couldn't pass on. At first glance, I might even like Voracek even more than Richards. Justin asked for Avtsyn a while ago but I wasn't ready to let him go just yet. Adding him and an early 2nd round pick seemed fair for both sides.
Bottom line is TB needed a C and I had one to spare. Works out fine.

Re: EDM - TB
Reasoning: Long term, Voracek is most likely the better player. However, I really wanted to have three proven C's going into the post-season. While Richards has a good skillset, his leadership and discipline are what I was sold on. Avystyn without a con boost will be a cheap 4th line hitter, with one he could be a valuable asset. With my defensive core set, three solid C's and a good group of wingers, TB is now ready to make a Cup run.
