Panthers' Tomas Vokoun on the move?

PrintOur good friend GR at OFP posted a blog earlier about the possibility of Tomas Vokoun being moved as soon as today.
Right now the Flyers are the team in the spotlight, but who knows. Voky has said that he has NOT told the Panthers that he wouldn't waive no trade clause (too many negatives there), so we'll just have to wait and see.
GR raises a good point, wondering how much of a say PdB has in the matter, telling me via text "...as a coach, hard to trade something like that." I have to agree, as this would confirm the 'white flag raising' that many of us may have been dreading.
Click the link to see what Vokoun had to say on the subject when he spoke with GR earlier today. Stay tuned, the next 24 hours could be very busy for us fans of the pussycat.

I hear Chicago is also in the running, I hope so. I would take Huet and Versteeg.

I just have a bad feeling about Huet; can’t put my finger on it.

I think I can help you out
I traded for him on my fantasy team right around when his game went south. That would be the DpD curse :o)

Think it’s safe to assume more than a second rounder :)

Eklund is tweeting that a Roloson to the Flyers deal is ‘close’….take from that what you will, but if it’s accurate then that could put a quash on the Voky to Philly idea.

Sounds like the Flyers’ m.o. but given it’s Eklund…

Yeah, it was Eklund tweeting something that someone else had tweeted a half-hour earlier. So, it might be accurate or the original couple of posters could be wrong. Followup on Twitter makes it sound like they’ve reached a deal in principle but Philly’s salary cap issues are stalling the deal. Who knows?

If the Panthers are devoted to rebuilding, I don’t see the value in shipping out Vokoun. He’s not young, but he’s the kind of player that has only gotten better with age (and 33 is not insanely old for a goalie). Now Weiss, on the other hand, might fetch a little something, because I’m still convinced we’ve seen his peak (and he doesn’t carry a particularly ugly contract for speculative buyers).
