Penguins GM Ray Shero hit the airwaves today and was on 937 the fan this afternoon in the 2:00 p.m. hour. Here are some comments from Shero on a number of subjects:

Shero on Vokoun

Shero indicated the team's pursuit of Tomas Vokoun started when he was talking to agent Allan Walsh about how to "get Marc Andre Fleury better next season. The discussion then led to Vokoun who Walsh also represents.

"{I asked Allan Walsh} "What's Tomas going to do and any interest in Penguins and I talked to George McPhee and got permission to talk to Tomas and it came about pretty quickly, " Shero said, who indicated there's "not a lot of available goaltenders on July 1" which led to the Penguins moving quickly on a deal.
