What is going to happen with Marc Andre Fleury next season if Vokoun continues to play the way he has? Does Vancouver buy out Luongo and if that happens does it mean he is joining the Panthers?

Dara: I don't think Vancouver wants to buy Luongo out given the cap implications. They'd much rather trade him even if it means getting little in return and/or eating some of his salary and/or taking back some salary. As for Fleury if Tomas Vokoun is the goalie of record the rest of the way my guess is that GM Ray Shero will have to move Fleury. If he's not your playoff goalie there is no point in having him on the roster eating up a big chunk of cap change.
