Matt 1,048 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 Per Detroit Red Wings official twitter account. @DetroitRedWings Deal is one-year, pro-rated $570,000 as rumored earlier today. He'll be placed on waivers at 12 noon ET tomorrow. If no team puts in a waiver claim for him he will be a Red Wing officially at 12:01pm on Saturday. Update (1/22 @ 12:02p): The New York Islanders have claimed Nabokov off waivers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
