Meanwhile, in Russia...

Mir_medium

A typical Russian Wednesday afternoon, probably.

According to a report on Fear the Fin which cites a Russian newspaper (which you are now reading about here, 3rd-hand. Hooray Internet!) Evegni Nabokov has signed on to play in the KHL. Confirmation and a press conference are expected soon.

The newspaper story continues, saying:

"Мир запчастей на портале vincast.ru: новости, тесты, новинки автозапчастей."

Isn't that unbelievable?

Anyways, I'm sad to see Nabokov go. I thought for sure some NHL team would sign him. Maybe some have made offers, but they're shitty teams that he doesn't want to play for? Who knows. I hope he has an awesome time in Russia, drinking vodka and growing a beard and whatever else it is people do there for fun.

Wyshynski: Nabokov is arguably the second-best regular season goalie behind Marty in the last decade. His problem is that his price remained too high in his market. So now he gets his money.

Justin Bourne: Wysh – if a guy takes six in Russia instead of two in the NHL, I think it’s a big insight into what matters to him. I can’t hate on him for wanting to be RICH instead of rich, but that’s not the type of goalie you want in the end anyway. San Jose wins there.

$2M in the NHL after tax is $1M.

$6M in the KHL after tax – $5.22M.

Kmm. Hard decision here.

Its more like $1.4M, but the $5.22M doesn’t include whatever other non-cash stuff they’re gonna give Nabby.

On the Mike Weber bandwagon.

Not in that tax bracket. It’s closer to about 1.2 at best.

Sounds like the hold up was the family question.

I bet they’re providing a nice house for the family to stay at.

Bourne is trash.

I like how he calls out Nabby for being selfish when plenty of other ex-NHLers have done the same thing. What’s the problem with taking a guaranteed role and more money?

don’t worry Spade, we’ll make sure our next goalie doesn’t let the Ducks win against the Sharks this coming season too … :)

I was hoping somebody would translate that for me. I copied it off an advertisement along the side of the page.

Well now we know why Nabby wanted to go to Russia – the incredible automotive deals!
