for failing
to report to the team after they claimed him on waivers. Hanging up on the
team’s general manager probably didn’t help matters.
The 35-year-old former San Jose Sharks and KHL goalie signed
a contract worth peanuts with the Detroit Red Wings: a pro-rated $570,000
one-year deal that made him awfully appealing to teams once he hit the
waiver wire; especially teams like the Islanders, given the instability of
their goaltending situation.
Cap
Geek reports that Nabokov won’t be paid or count against the cap, but what
are the real repercussions for this suspension? As Bob McKenzie
wrote on TSN:
The Islanders are within their rights to suspend Nabokov. That means Nabokov
doesn’t get paid and has no other options in terms of playing elsewhere. He
just sits. That scenario could simply carry on for the balance of the season.
End of story.Or maybe not. The Islanders could appeal to the NHL to "toll" the
contract, which essentially means push it to next year. In that case, Nabokov
would then "owe" the Islanders a year and Nabokov would not
necessarily become a free agent on July 1.
So in the span of a year, Nabokov would have gone from having the freedom to
sign a $6-million
per year contract in the KHL to being shackled to the Islanders for less
than what P.A. Parenteau’s making.
You think he reports to the Islanders now?
