Nabby is back

Yes the rush is on to pick up Nabakov. But do you really want him?
be careful here guys a few things to point out.
1. He is coming from the KHL not exactly the big leagues
2. He had a .888 SV% by comparision Brian Elliot, Steve Mason, and Marty Turco all have better numbers
3. You will need a roster spot. do you want to drop someone for a possible back up goalie in Detroit?
4. He may get claimed by the Islanders
5. How long has he been out of action and not playing against top talent? he may hurt your stats not help.

One good point to note is he is only 35. Which is not really over the hill for a Goalie so in keeper leagues he may beneifit you next season with a little NHL action.
We will call this preseason for him. If you grab him stash him on your bench or trade him away real fast for a younger guy.
I would use my waiver priority to grab him and turn him over fast for a top forward or D man depending on my needs. He could make your team a contender if you are wasting away in the middle of the pack if you can make a good trade.
I would gamble that he will not make a difference this season and trade him away.
