In most smaller leagues, Voracek is the better side.
But in a 30-team league, I agree... I like getting two top line players in Zajac & Burns.
Zajac/Burns, for me.
Scoring is H2H and category based. Skater categories:
Assists
Blocks
Goals
Hits
PIM
+/-
SOG
FO%
PPP
SHP
The goalie categories aren't relevant for this trade. As you can tell there's a lot of peripheral stats so big scorers aren't as important as they would be. Deal would essentially be Voracek+Ceci+Trocheck+2nd rounder (40th overall) for Zajac+Burns. I get a little older and lose scoring but the rosters are deep and there's lots of peripheral categories so it can work out in my mind. Plus we don't know if Voracek has busted out or if this season was a fluke while we know what Zajac and Burns will bring.
I would be giving up Nick Johnson+Babchuk too but that's just for logistical reasons they don't actually affect the trade.
It's a really tough decision but I'm thinking I'll do it. I get depth which is huge for this league. Zajac brings FO% and moderate point production while Burns is RW, D eligible and brings offensive production with different peripheral cats depending on what position he plays.
EDIT: Personally, the only piece of value to me that I'm giving up is Voracek. I don't really care for the other stuff so, in my mind, it's Voracek for Burns+Zajac.

Voracek is legit. I wouldn't do this deal even in a deep league. I expect even more from him next year while I am skeptical that burns can re-create the magic from this years position switch

It's a 30-team league.
Basically, it's the NHL.
Would the Flyers be stronger with:
Their team + Zajac + Burns
Their team + Voracek
Yes... it's fantasy... but this is the thinking in a 30-team league.
