Pens gave up a 7th round pick and signed Vokoun for 2 years.

Czech media are reporting 2 mil per year.

Shero might have lost faith in Fleury somewhat during these playoffs, it'd be nice to have a vet to back him up I suppose.

I'd be a little worried if I was Brad Thiessen this afternoon though, choosing Pittsburgh as a FA seems like a bad decision after all.

Maybe I'm missing something here, a 7th rder seems like a ridiculously low price to me; someone please explain.

They traded the 7th rounder to talk to Vokoun as he was going to be a free agent on July 1st.

since theres a chance he walks away teams dont trade much for rights

And he wasn't traded to the Leafs otherwise it would have been a 2nd round pick

There fixed it for ya.
