Is this trade the best in Flyers' history?

If this deal was at first criticized, you have to admit that both teams got what they wanted. And the two players are performing as anticipated.

When you look at the statistics, Atkinson registered 42 points in 55 games this season. Voracek has 42 points in 54 games. Pretty similar, to say the least. The big advantage that is going in favour of Philadelphia is that Atkinson has an impact of $5.8M under the cap until the season 2024-25. Voracek's contract will come to an end in 2023-24, but he is having more impact ($8.25M) on the Blue Jackets' salary cap.

Basically, Fletcher got a similar offensive production by replacing Voracek by Atkinson for $2.45M less. That's a pretty good.

At the end of the day, this trade could very well be one of the best the Flyers' made in recent history.
