Default Voracek vs Purcell

Wanted some opinions. But both these guys were slated on their respective teams top lines. Voracek was supposed to play with giroux and hartnell. Purcell was supposed to play with stamkos and stlouis. Looking at it now... Schenn looks like the favorite for now to play alongside giroux and malone is playing alongside stamkos. Voracek is playing with couture and talbot. While purcell is playing with lecavlier and conacher in training camp. Who would you take for this year?

Scoring cats are in my sig.

I'd guess Voracek.
Most lines like to put some grit on them.

PHI already has the grit on their top line (Hartnell), so they don't necessarily need any more and Voracek will work there.

TB has Stamkos & MSL. Stammer has some grit, but not huge grit. Ryan Malone is the best fit on that line. Purcell (even though he is tall) is a friggin pansy who doesn't bump around at all. Teddy might see some PP1 time, but I don't think he fits well on the Stamkos line, I think Ryan Malone will be there for the bulk of the season.

two guys i added to my main team this year. hoping they both land on the first line.
id bet voracek plays with giroux when its all said and done.
prcell i think will bounce between lines.

Very close one, but I think I'd rather go with Voracek, I like his potential. Purcell probably is a bit safer.

I'd go with Voracek here too. Like everyone else said, it is close though.

Apparently Voracek has lost his slot riding shotgun to Giroux in favour of Schenn... to start the season at least.

In either case I'd still take Voracek - he may wind up on the top line anyway after a few games. The upside is there, and even if he winds up playing with Briere the whole season it's still a decent line and he'll be good for at least 50 either way.

Purcell on the other hand rarely ever plays on the top line.

I like Voracek over Purcell.

Purcell is being moved off of Stamkos' line, but even if he wasn't, I'd still go with V.
