Z Winged Dangler 2,082 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 Now that the season is over, is there a chance that Holland will try to get Nabokov to sign and put pressure on Howard to not have s***ty games too often?? I'm not sure what would have to happen for him to come to the Wings, but if there's a chance of it happening it may be a good idea. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny Diamonds 25 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 Well I doubt he'd sign for under a $1millon per, but yeah he might be in play. Funny, haven't heard his name mentioned much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wings_fanatic 677 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 Yes I believe Nabby is still going to be under contract with the Isles (which I think is BS) but regardless of the fact, I think it would be wise for Kenny to make a trade offer for Nabby because he would not cost the Wings too much, and we need a quality back-up because quite frankly Howard was terrible for the better part of 3 months last year during the regular season, so having a guy like Nabby here would help a lot for ensurance... and if Howard struggles again this year for some reason, I would be more than happy to see Nabby take over if needed be. I think Kenny should look into this after he makes his free agent moves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Kenny should look into this after he makes his free agent moves. I thought they (NHL lawmakers and the media) talked about (and I will butcher this by the way because I'm really not sure) how Detroit is not allowed to acquire him in any way possible. But if Snow is a willing trade partner (which seems unlikely as all hell), then Kenny could trade for Nabby? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wings_fanatic 677 Report post Posted July 2, 2011 Nabby is under contract with the Isles, but the Isles can now trade him to anyone they want to deal with (he does not have to clear waivers or anything like that anymore). That is why I truly think Kenny needs to make an offer for him after he finishes with signing the necessary free agents... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, there was a thread about this last night, too. Pure speculation misread by the OP. Probably based on the fact that Theodore landed in FLA. Vokoun hasn't signed anywhere.

Vokoun hasn't signed anywhere. That's my thought too... I still think Vokoun re-signs in Fla... they need to get to the floor, can give him an obscene contract and there aren't many teams left looking for a number 1 goalie left in the market...

hooon 1,089 Report post Posted July 2, 2011 Vokoun goes to the Capitals 1-year $1.5 Million Deal of the off-season, IMO. With all the cash being tossed around yesterday, I seriously think he could have gotten 4+ easily. Caps have a really scary team next season. Lets see if it can translate to the playoffs.

(I don't remember how that mess turned out) Nabokov agreed to have the contract roll into 2011-2012 in order for the Isles to allow him to play in the Worlds I believe.

Vokoun signed with the Capitals. http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=370719 ops I guess someone bet me to it. With the Capitals sign him oh well... Anyways I guess Vokoun had a Brain after all and decided not to play with them Isle's lol. Edited July 3, 2011 by REDHASEK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted July 3, 2011 where were you on that one holland. Comments like this irritate the hell out of me. Like Holland wouldn't have paid $1.5 for Vokoun in a heartbeat. Like he didn't atleast check with Vokoun's camp. I know its rocket science but do you think perhaps the fact that Vokoun would be the undisputed number 1 had anything to do with him not considering Detroit? Nevermind, lets just go on hating on Holland for making one slightly large overpayment given the market. 2 P. Marlowe and 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
