OT-Wings get Nabakov...kinda

http://slapshot.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/01/21/detroit-signs-nabokov-but-…

1 year deal, prorated salary of $250K.  Only problem is he needs to clear waivers (our position is around 28 I believe so unlikely that'll happen).  Another team could claim him, but that doesn't mean he'll play for them.  I don't mind this signing.  With Osgood's hernia, he's probably done.  Those are hard to come back from, especially a goalie.  Nabakov has never really been on an elite team (SJ was always a regular season wonder, collapsed in the playoffs) but he's good enough to where I feel like our defense could mask some of his deficiencies.  He's also a potential starter if Howard goes down or needs a break before the playoffs.  Not a bad deal if this goes through.
