Comments for Vokoun to the Capitals at http://hockey.dobbersports.com , comment 1 to 5 out of 5 comments http://hockey.dobbersports.com Wed, 22 May 2013 20:41:12 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/3794-vokoun-to-the-capitals#comment-15047 55-60 starts for Vokoun. If you are Bruce Boudreau, you have two failed playoffs with two different young goaltenders. You can't go back to that well again and fail - people will say "What are you doing? Why didn't you try to give your experienced goaltender a shot?" And, if you already know that you need to try your experienced goaltender in the playoffs... then you can count on giving him his usual starts during the season. For Vokoun, this is 60 games. - Pengwin7 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 18:48:45 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/3794-vokoun-to-the-capitals#comment-15045 Only snag is Caps are now about 1M from cap with 12 fs, 7 ds, and 2 gs signed and Brouwer and Alzner still to be resigned (I am not counting Jay Beagle, counted by capgeek). Both players could command 2-3M each, so someone will have to be moved. I am guessing it is likely to be a D. They won't want a roster player back other than perhaps a depth guy, so it'll be prospect/pick. If they don't need that much salary and he's healthy, could be Poti. If they need lots of salary, Green. Wideman is in between those two. Watch Isles and Jackets. Maybe Avs. If Alzner or Brouwer go to arbitration and get award, opens up buy out window for Caps. Will be interesting to watch. - fzusher Sat, 02 Jul 2011 16:01:00 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/3794-vokoun-to-the-capitals#comment-15042 this is an amazing decision of many levels. cheap? check. flexible? check. great talent? check. mentor for young promising goalie? check. avoid rushing other young goalie prospect? check. make philly look stupid? check. - ultrawhiteness Sat, 02 Jul 2011 14:23:21 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/3794-vokoun-to-the-capitals#comment-15038 Wow! I think George MacPhee has done a great job filling the holes he considered necessary to take the next step. Adding Vokoun is huge, and sure makes them a legitimate contender. - Mike Sat, 02 Jul 2011 13:34:39 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/3794-vokoun-to-the-capitals#comment-15036 Absolutely the first thing I thought about was what the heck did the Flyers do? - Shoeless Sat, 02 Jul 2011 13:32:30 +0100
