    A farewell to Flyers legend Jakub Voráček

    Last week, Jakub Voráček announced his official retirement from the National Hockey League, a decision that seems to have been made for him as a result of lingering concussion issues. Voráček scored 806 career points in 1058 games, including 604 in 727 games as a Philadelphia Flyer. Two years ago when he was traded back to the Columbus Blue Jackets for Cam Atkinson, Voráček finished his Flyers career tenth in franchise history in points, fifth in assists, and is in the top 10 in at least seven other categories. Voráček was one of the faces of Flyers hockey in the 2010s—he was consistently among the team's top scorers (and consistently one of the top scoring wingers in the NHL), one of the team's highest paid players, and was given the Bobby Clarke Trophy for the team's most valuable player in 2013 and again in 2015.
