Trade Tomas Vokoun? Two sides weigh in

The Hockey News presents opposing arguments for and against dumping #1 Florida Panthers goaltender Tomas Vokoun.
"First, Florida isn't built to win this year or in the next two years - the time remaining on Vokoun’s contract. The Panthers are in a rebuilding mode (when are they not?). They had to trade Olli Jokinen over the summer and Jay Bouwmeester is likely next. So why pin your hopes on a goalie making $5.7 million per season through 2010-11?"
- John Grigg, THN
"All this talk surrounding Vokoun – a goalie who has been among the league’s elite since the turn of the century – just because he has started a little cold and his backup has been posing as the Messiah, is moving too fast when it’s simply unnecessary."
- Rory Boylen, THN
Lots of attention is coming our way if Andy can keep up his Jacques Plante routine. Especially if T-Vo's name is combined with Bouwmeester's. Have a nice day!

YES!
it isnt like we are downgrading at the goaltending position by trading Vokoun, so why not bolster our front line which is the area we most need improvement?
During their current run of 14 ‘solid’ games since the loosing streak the Cats are averaging 2.71 goals per game, which is an improvement….but id LOVE to see that number over 3.
