Florida Panthers / NHL Trade Deadline Blowout: Wednesday at The Box

We'll probably go with another title (the one above seems too subtle), but here's the deal: Litter Box Cats will be live-blogging / open-threading / chatting / whatever beginning at 11am EST tomorrow and continuing throughout the afternoon until Gary Bettman cuts the power to his fax machine.
Get to Publix before they run short on Hot Pockets, Toilet Ducks, and cheap Merlot as the NHL Trade Deadline kicks off right here at your Florida Panthers Colossus. All the Cats rumors, speculation, analysis, and trades that we can fit on a grey-market desktop monitor.
We'll also be keeping an eye on Twitter (@litterboxcats) as well as the major hockey outlets for everything Panthers related on a day which annually proves to be an internet love-fest of ridiculous proportions.

Potvin
Just heard Potvin on NHL Home Ice. He was suggesting a good trade would be Vokoun to the Caps for Laich, a defensive prospect (forgot the name) and maybe Thedore.
heard about this rumour last week. not sure if it makes much sense for us as Theodore is a free agent after this year and could walk, therefore giving us a prospect as the only thing to show for Vokoun.
But then again, we’ve done that before huh!
Sexton is in a bind. If we are rebuilding, then trade Vokoun for some assets, and include a player or two that can play now. We’ve screwed up draft picks too many times to take that gamble, and this years draft is rumoured not to be very deep.
I still think that Vokoun to Chicago may happen. Regardless of what most people think, Vokoun has been solid and doesn’t deserve to sit through us rebuilding. again.

but, we do need to do something for the seasons ahead. Like Donny said, better to do that and show up strong in the post season than do some half-assed stuff this season and be a one and done team in the postseason, if that even happens.
This team is not making the playoffs. No matter what anyone says, the season’s over. If Sexton can get good deals now, he should trade now. If not, then he should wait until summer. But he should be building for the future. Forget this year.
However, as far as Vokoun is concerned, forget this year, we need him next year, so they shouldn’t send him off unless the return is outstanding.
Florida Panthers: Giving the league a punching bag since 2000.
He was saying the idea of Laich was to get leadership in the locker room that hasn’t been there since Skrudland/Mellanby.
Mornin' all!
Gonna be switching over to a new post within the hour, so refresh the main page in a bit for the location we’ll be at throughout the day.
LET’S DO THIS!
volkoun is a solid #1 goaltender
Trading him would be a mistake, unless you know he won’t resign after his contract is up. Period.
Tell you what, I’d give you Timmy Thomas for him straight up. Would you do that deal?
B’s fan, in case you couldn’t tell.
I hate that I can't sign off with "bt" anymore.
