As everyone has heard by now, Dale Tallon has assured Tomas Vokoun that he will not be traded this season. I am guessing that means another season of showcasing stats over wins for Vokoun but at least he does not have to worry about being in limbo.
So the question becomes now what? It appears also now that the Sharks are really trying to make a hard push to retain the services of Evgeni Nabokov. If that does pan out, that is two high ranked goalies right off the market just like that. That really does dampen the goalie market a bit.
Given here are some of your fine potential choices and do note the sarcasm. Name time.
Marty Turco
Cristobal Huet (if anyone is dumb enough)
Ray Emery
Michael Leighton (surprising to some)
Carey Price (you would think)
Jose Theodore
The Smith/Niittymaki combo (possible)
The reality becomes here. Is there anyone not mentioned or mentioned that you may want as a #1? Keep in mind, they have to have the potential of being traded or are actually an unrestricted free agent. In short, good luck.
