I think Whitney is your better option if you're going for the win. He might get hurt, but he's a great gamble with that Oilers offence. Go for the Home Run.

Whitney - proven to be capable. Proven to be injury prone (world's strangest feet)
Voynov - Stanley Cup, slowly developed, remarkably secure as a blueline option for being a young guy. Great upside... not nearly so proven...
No correct answer here. Me, probably Voynov, but my view has been tarnished by participating in a couple of cap pools.
Lets see:
Voynov - limited NHL experience
Doughty - star or super star?
Kopi - star or super star?
Carter - needs rebound
Richards - needs rebound
Brown - should be in 60 point window
or
Eberle - did point-a-game once
Hall - nice in the AHL, but didn't run away
Yak - no NHL experience
Schultz - no NHL experience
Hemsky - injuries?
Whitney - injuries?
As far as teammates are concerned, for the coming year, I'll risk with the LA bunch. The Edmonton bunch is AWESOME, but a few years from being at the top of their top.
Whitney is always hurt. I have to go with Voynov by default.

Give me Whitney.
Voynov is stuck behind Doughty and Martinez on the PP chart. Whitney will be starting the year on PP1 and my guess is he'll end there as well. While he has an injury history, he's had extra time to rehab and has stated that he is fully recovered and excited to get back playing.

Trying to make a run, I would roll the die on Whitney. Whitney if healthy could put up some really good numbers this season.

I'd go Voynov personally, but that's because I love his game. He just won't score as many goals as whitney.

Dobber mentioned Whitney being on a contract year... and if he sits out a nice chunk of this seaon, he can kiss goodbye any future loot.
I think he'll play his heart out this short season... he's excited, healthy and refreshed... and I'd actually bet we see an injury to Hall and/or RNH before Whitney misses time - even if Ryan has to play through pain to make bank.
I would NOT touch him with a 10-foot pole if looking to future (beyond 2013), but I think he is a steal for this short season... he will get 1st line even strength, some PP1, lots of PP2, and if he succeeds on PP (like two seasons ago) before Schultz locks up his career post at the EDM point, I could easily see 35-38 points in 46 games for Mr. Whitney.
