Don't think you can blame Sexton. Anderson wanted to be the #1, and Colorado was willing to give him that label and only pay him $1.8 million (which is very low for a #1 goalie). Obviously the label was worth more than the money to him. Vokoun has a big contract and with Khabibulin going to Edmonton for just $3.75 million a year, how many teams want to pay Vokoun's $5.7 million price tag? Just seems like his contract was a tougher thing to overcome than getting him to agree to waive the no-trade.

Once it again it shows Martin's ineptitude that he would saddle this club with Vokoun for so much money and for so many years. He basically poured cement shoes for this team with his player overcompensations and then pushed us off a bridge. People don't believe me when I say it, but it sometimes takes 2 or 3 seasons just to reverse the poor decision making of a bad GM. Sexton will now pay the price for Martin's incompetence with his cap restrictions. Even after cutting away all the deadwood he still doesn't have much money to work with. As you stated, just enough to get a decent mid-range scorer which we can probably guess he won't get thanks to Alan "clamshell wallet" Cohen.

Just noticed that Montreal picked up Hal Gil for $2.25 million per year. I was always surprised when he played as well as he did for Pittsburgh, as during his years with Toronto he always seemed to be way too heavy footed - a human pylon of sorts. He'll be perfect for the Jacques Martin trap!

No, that was a Jacques Martin blunder. He signed Vokoun for way too much and gave away too much to Nashville. His $5.7 million price tag is way too high.
