NomadFromKazoo 42 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 I love Howard, but if we could convince Nabby to come here to try to win a Cup and screw the Sharks for a cut rate salary then I saw we take it in a heartbeat. With Jimmy and Nabby sharing the load, we go into the playoffs without running him into the ground like the Sharks did every year. Ozzie was great, I'm not with those who hate him and run him down, but his time is passing and Nabby and Howard would be awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDetroitRedWings 286 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 Unless Nabby is willing to take league min and serve as Jimmy's backup. Detroit is probably not a viable destination for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedFX 48 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 He'd go to the KHL before he'd sign as a backup anywhere. Interesting to know if that had anything to do with him not signing in Philly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd propose they split the load and the hot one goes into the playoffs as the starter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joseph Franks 17 Report post Posted July 2, 2010 Why would Nabby take a huge pay cut, instead of just going to the KHL? Why would we want him? Osgood has 3 cups (Two he can legitimately call his own), and Howard was as good as Nabby last year, if not better during some stretches. Nabby is a proven playoff failure. Not to imply he isn't a good goalie, but he belongs on a team that needs an upgrade in goal tending, not here we're he could easily end up outplayed by a hot streaking Osgood, or a consistent Howard. The trend is to get away from aging high priced goalies who remain unproven in the playoffs late into their careers. I remember the mistake of taking on Cujo. That really seemed to go well for us. Hasek panned out for a year, but if you look at the team that was in front of him, it put the Hawks 2010 team to shame. All due respect to Nabby, but this is a ridiculous rumor.

cjm502 165 Report post Posted July 2, 2010 I read somewhere that GM's wont go near Nabby, he basically stopped trying in the Olympics. Im pretty sure it was one of the TSN guys on my twitter, but im not sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
