syntax 359 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 Does anyone know what would happen if Nabokov tells any other team that claims him off waivers to ' off'? Would he have to wait for the off season to re-sign with us? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dragonballgtz 273 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 No matter what, there was a point to this. We just may not find out the actual one until this offseason. He probably just wanted a chance to play in the NHL again. Nothing like having the Red Wings wanting to sign a player for other teams to take interest in him, with a small price tag on top of that.

Wingzman91 134 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 If he makes it to NY.. NJ could claim him first and then move him or Hedburg... Just Hedberg, if they try to trade Nabby they have to waive him first, all season, no matter how much he plays We can not get Nabokov unless every team passes, I just don't see that happening.

stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 can't nabokov refuse to play for the team that claims him? what would happen then? They'd still own his rights until he fulfilled the contract, esentially forcing him into retirement... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WMUCarGuy 8 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 Does a 1 year deal signed halfway through the year essentially mean a half year deal until the end of this season, or is it 1 year as in 365 days from teh date signed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whoever claims him, can't trade him unless he passes through Waivers again. This has been covered about 100 times now. 2 Green Wing and wings1110 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cjm502 165 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 Nabby can't play in the AHL, and if he was claimed off waivers by another team and than traded to us he would have to clear wavers again. If he doesn't clear tomorrow there is no way we could get him back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shady Ultima 40 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 I was kinda expecting that we'd sign him to GR, then hold off on him until after the trade deadline, and bring him up... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcom007 1,465 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 This is just weird. I can't imagine that there's not more to this. Either Holland has reason to believe Nabokov will not get claimed or there's something else going on. I just can't imagine they would do this only to see him claimed Friday afternoon.

Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 This has to have been planned... I wonder if someone has made a deal with the Wings to get this done... Or maybe they were planning on trading for him right of the bat. Or maybe they really just wanted to play the long shot, or maybe they were using voodoo to stop people from claming him... I am just confused... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeytown_Ryan 119 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) Bob McKenzie Twitter... Nabokov's agent Don Meehan sent a letter to all NHL teams prior to signing saying Nabokov wants to be able to compete as a starter. This was a favor for Meehan plain and simple Edited January 21, 2011 by Hockeytown_Ryan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 this all makes my head spin. It's like Nabby is a white elephant gift, and we have to wait til people get done claiming him, until he's dead and we can keep him? I think I will just wait for Saturday to be happy or sad about this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) They'd still own his rights until he fulfilled the contract, esentially forcing him into retirement... Kind of risky though. Ken and Mickey were saying that Nabby cannot be sent down to the minors, and we already established that he can't be traded unless he hits the waiver wire again. Is it worth the risk to waste one of two, maybe three available slots on a goalie who refuses to play for you? Granted, I doubt Nabby cares as much as we do where he ends up. I expect he's looking at the remainder of this year as an audition for next year. So if a team was at their roster or salary cap limit and wanted to acquire Nabokov, would they first have to move a player, then pick up Nabby, or could they pick up Nabby first and go over the roster/cap limit for a couple hours to a day while they sort things out? On that note: are there any teams who are so close to the Cap or are at their roster limit that picking up Nabby isn't feasible right now?

dragonballgtz 273 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) NTC as well so no waivers again without her permission after his mandatory first round.
