Thomas Vokoun is Open to Waiving His NTC

"A: ...if there's a deal in place, [Florida's GM will] let me know. Ultimately it's my decision, yes or no.

Q: Have you told the Panthers you wouldn't waive your No-Trade Clause?
A: No, that's not true.

Q: So you are open to talk about it all?
A: Yep."

We’ve known that since early February.

We’re not getting Vokoun.

If we trade Carter to get Vokoun I’m going to be pissed off.

It would be Adam Oates all over again. We need scoring… so let’s lose scoring and cut down on goals against. Meanwhile, let’s ignore the fact that our defense has allowed 2 goals or less in 13 of the past 14 games.

The Flyers need an NHL goaltender. They don’t have one.

They don’t need scoring.

On paper, they don’t need scoring. In reality, they do. I shouldn’t need to explain why. (1-0 loss to Edmonton, 2-1 loss to Minnesota, 1-0 loss to Atlanta back in November, etc.)

On paper, they don’t have an NHL goaltender. At least for now, they do. And if he falls apart, you let him walk in the offseason. It’s not like he’s locked up in a Briere/Pronger contract.

They need players who give a shit. Bringing a scorer onto this team will just mean that they fall into the same bad attitudes and poor effort that the rest of the forwards have, and will proceed not to score.

So if that’s remotely true, we should trade our leading goal-scorer instead. Vokoun will “give a shit” and play his heart out… but the team in front of him won’t score and he’ll lose every night anyway.

Last time I checked, you need to score goals in order to win games. You need to prevent them too, but we haven’t had issues doing that of late.
