achildr1 255 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 Please don't compare Emery to Nabakov ever again lol I second that. The only comparision between the two where I would take Emery is in who I think would win the fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rrasco 1,312 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 While we're waiting for the game to start and Nabby to sign. This is interesting: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=550086 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 Here's what I think happens: NJ claims Nabokov. NJ trades Hedberg to us for peanuts. Brodeur retires at the end of the season. Nabokov signs a 3-year deal with NJ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wingzman91 134 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 Things to consider... Kenny has some serious man love for Chris Osgood and we are a pretty upstanding organization. I have a hard time believing Kenny is doing this knowing he has about a 3.67% chance that no one picks up Evgeni. If that were the case, he probably just nearly killed Jimmy Howard's (what I believe to be) fragile confidance. All of a sudden, in one high risk (goalie moral wise) move, Osgood probably thinks Kenny believes his season (or career) is over, Jimmy thinks he isn't/cant be THE guy, and McDonald thinks he can't even be a backup during an injury. Since we've explored most other crazy scenarios, its seems that is indeed what is happening or the other 27 teams have been told by Nabby's agent that he won't play for them. I also think its pretty far fetched that we would negotiate with Nabby 100% for another team in hopes that they would put Johan Hedberg or some other journeyman backup on the trade block for us. NJ knows theyd have first dibs on waivers, why dont they sign him? Why go through this mess. Option # 1 The price means the he must have wanted to play for us, now a team might grab him and he may never play for them, but on July 1st all bets are off, and I'd think that Nabby won't mind the possibility of a bidding war then. Option # 2 He may just be agreeing to get back into the NHL before no one gives him another chance. Look at all the press today, its like the Heatley sweepstakes last year. Nabby might not sign if interest is high enough to get a 4 mill-ish contract. Option #3 Kenny doesn't seem the type to abuse a players trust. So he may have some secret backroom thing, i've seen weirder, but I highly doubt we see Nabby on the Wings this year. Discount next year for helping get his foot in the door, or some weird,backroom,sign-waive- player&pick for privlage&player(likely muscled out backup) am I missing any other audibles?

evilmrt 636 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 Daniel F-ing Larsson. Kenny, please fix your mistake and get him back here. You are the best GM in the NHL, but even you are capable of flubs. We don't want another washed up, nearing the end of their career goaltender in Nabby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcom007 1,465 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 No way Nabokov clears waivers at the prices being tossed around. Everyone knows this. Translation: This isn't about a goalie. Well, at least not Nabokov. It'll be interesting to see what this is really about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Booster313 138 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 I was just thinking about that too. Salei is pretty much Russian right? Markov too but other than them they haven't really dealt with many Russians. When did you start watching hockey?! The Red Wings started the Russian craze in the NHL with the russian five! Recently it has more to do with the KHL and the transfer agreement with the IIHF than anything else. Daniel F-ing Larsson. Kenny, please fix your mistake and get him back here. You are the best GM in the NHL, but even you are capable of flubs. We don't want another washed up, nearing the end of their career goaltender in Nabby. Larsson wasn't even a great AHL goaltender... Plus he has a bad attitude. See Ya! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vladifan 680 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 I most certainly did not write that! Plus, signing Emery is like signing Vince Young. I certainly hope you're wrong about Vince. I want to think he just needs to play where he's wanted. Now, back to your regularly scheduled thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
