Vokoun's Trade That Changed Panthers | NHL News
Description
In 2007, the Florida Panthers pulled off a bold trade, sending three draft picks to the Nashville Predators for goaltender Tomas Vokoun — a move that would define both teams for years. Vokoun became the Panthers’ undisputed netminder, starting 243 of 248 games, posting over 100 wins, and earning All-Star honors while consistently delivering elite save percentages. Before Florida, he was a cornerstone in Nashville, logging nearly 400 games and earning All-Star nods himself. The picks Florida gave up eventually became key contributors — Nick Spaling and Colin Wilson — who helped Nashville build a strong roster. While the Predators got valuable assets, Vokoun’s impact on Florida was monumental, cementing his legacy as one of the franchise’s all-time greats.
