Red Kingdom 4 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 Watching NHL Network right now and they said the tomas Vokoun signed the Islanders. Does that mean that they could be in the market to deal Nabakov? Wings are looking for a good backup goalie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings are looking for a good backup goalie. I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully they will deal or even let go of Nabakov so that the Wings can get their hands on him but than again what is the deal with Larsson is he coming back and will the Wings Re-Sign him to an NHL Deal this time. I hope the Wings can get a goalie signed pretty soon just to be safe. I know going into Camp the Wings usually bring in about 6 or more goalies but it would be nice to know where we stand as far as who is going to be backing up Howard.

CaptainCaveMan 4 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 Wouldn't Nabakov have to clear wavers again? Or does that no longer apply because it's a new season? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm almost certain that they can just trade him if they like at this point. Hudler or even just picks for Nabby, minimum cap hit contract for one year. The guy wants to be here.

Hudler or even just picks for Nabby, minimum cap hit contract for one year. The guy wants to be here. I'd definetly like signing Nabakov for one year as long as the salary is reasonable but also at I feel like that's just a temporary fix, Nabby won't be here for long if at all and won't be the future of the Wings and we'd just have to do the same thing next season so I'd almost would rather sign a younger goalie like Larsson as long as he is able to come up and the Wings feel comfortable that he is ready for the NHL. Continually signing UFA Goalies season after season doesn't really help with Chemistry between the goalies like having two young ones that can grow together and learn from each other but also on the other hand it's nice to have a goalie that has NHL experince and can help Jimmy with his play. So either way would be ok I guess but I do hope something does happen soon becasue having another goalie locked up I think would be a good idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Travis 576 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 Yeah, I don't see anything saying that this actually happened. Perhaps it was a possible scenario. Florida brought in Jose Theodore to be their new number 1. Vokoun hasn't gone anywhere, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
