If it comes down to a choice between taking back JVR and Voracek, you take Voracek. Even at that cap hit. He is hands down the better player in any way, shape or form. And he plays the right, which is an organizational weakness of Calgarys. As the OP mentioned, a lot of the top prospects in the Flames system are left wings. With a smaller return, I think that the Flyers would be able to retain some cap.

Jacob Voracek (1M retained) + Morgan Frost + Phillipe Myers
for
Johnny Gaudreau

I would also add that I think a lot of Kylington. He may play better on the right side, as that was his natural side in every year except this last one. Those items straight up for Johnny would be a great trade, and Philly could absorb it easily, given the progression of Sanheim and Farabee.
