Wings Negotiating w/ Nabokov

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Nabby is a solid goaltender, but he can only do so much when he is asked to start a ton. Recent history has shown that work horse goalies are shaky at best in the playoffs. It's not Nabby's fault that his team overworked him.

Somebody needs glasses.

Who would steal him away through waivers?

Let's see (not including all the teams who aren't going to make playoffs) what about Colorado, Atlanta, Washington, even San Jose, Nabby would be an upgrade to any of those team's present goalies.

If you include the bottom feeders, .. Leafs :lol: , New Jersey, Islanders, Senators, Calgary, Edmonton ...

So there are plenty of interested teams, maybe 26 other ones who has a lower winning % than us ... which makes me wonder why they haven't tried signing him yet.

McKenzie:

Nabokov update: Close to a deal in DET in one sense but still some issues to be sorted out. So please be clear: no agreement in place yet.

Great example you're setting as a mod. Let's stick to the topic on hand and not resort to petty insults.

Makes you think maybe the possibilities of him clearing are greater since none of those teams have signed him. Either way Kenny probably has something up his sleeve.

Are more teams afraid of Nabby than we realize? Any one of them could have negotiated with Nabby.

Watch Burke claim him! He's been quoted that he's going to try and make a run at the playoffs this year. :lol:

Assuming he clears and it all goes through... does definitely mean the Wings will have dump some players? Hudler? Miller? Prospects? How does this work?

Right now, as long as the numbers are right, they could, in theory, LTIR Osgood for the rest of the year and he could slide in there without making another move...
