Jake Voracek has been rumored to either be unprotected or traded by the Flyers this offseason, per Elliotte Friedman. This is what Friedman said in his latest 31 thoughts article:

“I’m going to stress that this situation has been described as “not acrimonious” to me, but Philadelphia and Jakub Voracek have discussed that it might be time for a change, as well. Voracek is expected to be left unprotected for the expansion draft (and was told so), where former Flyers coach Dave Hakstol would weigh in. Should that fail, Philly will look elsewhere. There are three years left on his contract, with cash slightly lower than his cap hit of $8.25 million. Both sides are also prepared for the possibility a trade won’t occur, so he stays put. But there will be a legit attempt to move him.”

So, you take that whatever way you like. There seems to be a split with Flyers fans on what to do with Jake. Most fans want him gone because of the $8.25 million cap hit he has for the next 3 seasons. He has lots of value left, and you can get a veteran defender back in a trade for sure.

Here are my thoughts, enjoy the video and thanks for watching as always!
