sleepwalker 512 Report post Posted January 22, 2011 what a wait for nothing, lol Well, it was 100% obvious he wouldn't make it through waivers, so the wait was just to see which other team ended up claiming him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vladifan 680 Report post Posted January 22, 2011 OK, does this necessarily mean it's all over? Does this mean there can't be any more conversation/deals/negotiations right now or soon with the Red Wings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CenterIce 83 Report post Posted January 22, 2011 I don't know what the Islanders intend to gain by this. They are obviously in tank mode and they can't trade him without exposing him to waivers again. Oh well, if it wasn't them it probably would have been somebody else. Worth a shot, Kenny. They need a goalie for a while, and it only costs them $570,000. What doesn't make sense? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does this mean there can't be any more conversation/deals/negotiations right now or soon with the Red Wings? Pretty much. His agent said he would play for whoever claims him, and he has a no movement clause. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crashnburnluder 385 Report post Posted January 22, 2011 I don't even get for a second why they would put in a bid other than to be a dick. Well the Islanders are dead to me. The Isles weren't dead to you already... lol I REALLY hope he refuses to play... Kinda like you knew I wanted to go to a Contender and work towards next season and you guys screw me and claim me.... so now I screw you back lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted January 22, 2011 If I were Nabokov, I would go in and be a big prick. I wouldn't practice, I wouldn't help, I wouldn't do anything but what is the bare minimum of what is expected of me. I would play hockey and keep calling the team out for being ass holes.

wings7 62 Report post Posted January 22, 2011 Can someone please explain to me the purpose of waivers? I just don't even understand why they exist, at least not in this situation. Nabokov was available to every team in the league...But we went out and signed him...Why does everyone else get a chance to pluck him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kinda like you knew I wanted to go to a Contender and work towards next season and you guys screw me and claim me.... so now I screw you back lol Agree, but you know what I didn't hate them and I was always rooting for them to turn it around. Now I hope they just stay at the bottom and get moved to somewhere in the West so we can go East. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
