Kesler, Burrows, Perry, Richards, Carter, Neal, Backes, Ladd, Lucic, Brouwer, Okposo, Heatly, Ryan

Just a bunch of quick examples off the top of my head of star players that fell off around the age Voracek is. Let’s trade our 27 year old superstar for that guy and pay him a higher cap hit than any Flames in the history of the team.

Don't forget Dion!
