Larry-Launstein-Jr Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I found out yesterday that the Red Wings have signed former San Jose goalie Nabakov. They must wait for him to clear waivers in order to retain his services under the current CBA. http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2011/01/20/red-wings-sign-goalie-evgeni-nabokov-and-now-wait-out-waiver-process/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Maybe montreal will pick him up At less then 600K i can see a few teams doing a doubletake on their goaltending situations. Guess we wont find out until tomorrow if he clears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatethosebruins Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Well he was a starter in San Jose for like 10 years, of course anyone with a young starter would want a veteran like that...funny how 6 7 months ago he wanted like a huge contract and now signs a 500K contract:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnipegJet Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I will be incredibly surprised if he clears waivers. Although its interesting that he has a NMC built in to the contract. However, if he does get picked up by a team that he doesn't want to play for, he could simply refuse to report. He wouldn't get to play in the NHL at all, but its a possibility that it could happen.

HabGirlYVR Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I'm laughing my tail off at this. As I'm sure you're all aware by now, I follow the KHL rather closely, so I saw how Nabby played all season with SKA. One word summary? Rubbish. He was horrible all season, played 22 games, 3.02 average, .888 save percentage, he was utterly useless, and he wasn't much better at the Olympics, either. I thought the signing of Kyle Wellwood was ridiculous (8 points in 25 games with Atlant Mytischi this season), but this beats it easily. It's almost like the NHL is becoming a refuge for KHL rejects... I mean, sure, it's possible Nabokov will bounce back and play stellar hockey, but I doubt it.

Their only option is to put him back on waivers if they dont want him. Okkkkkk......can he do that??? He can refuse to play with the Islanders but my understanding is he cant play in the NHL this year if he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiLla Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Can't blame him, I wouldn't report to the Islanders either Seriously, he's made enough money over the years, I believe he wants to win a Cup more than anything else and he probably figured Detroit would be his best shot at getting there. He's been in the NHL for what ... 10 years and never won it, why would he join the Islanders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatethosebruins Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Not to sound mean but if I were him I'd suck it up and report if it means he can't play this season if he doesn't report. He already went through some drama on finding an NHL contract so I'd be thankful to get one, and he can just leave next year and find a new team. If he proves himself helpful to the Islanders I am certain some team will take him and give him a bit of a raise, this is just a bad idea on his part.

ChiLla Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 The NHL is a funny pro league. Who came up with the waiver procedures in the first place if there's virtually nobody who actually understands how it works in some cases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once he starts playing for the team they can trade him but need to get his permission because he has a NMC. I also might just be extremely confused.
