Sharks to let Nabby go

clarkj2 · 06-22-10, 05:36 PM

They need a change at the goalie position but it's strange that they would let him go for nothing.

Well he's a free agent, they don't wanna pay what he's asking, and if the truth be told, just move on and try something different.

so is Greiss the guy then? don't know enough about him, can he be a #1 ?

DennisGreen · 06-22-10, 10:34 PM

About freakin' time! They will be better off with Greiss or hell even with a Women's Olympic goalie in there

Marauders · 06-23-10, 01:39 AM

I will be surprised if the Sharks don't sign a reliable veteran goalie to compliment Greiss. Greiss is just too unproven to carry this team. Someone like Chris Mason could be a good fit.

The Kazakhstani big game choker was worth nowhere near his 6 million dollar salary. Next season he'll probably be in the KHL where they will overpay him as much as he wants.

Agree with that. I don't think Greiss is ready for full time duty yet.

I heard a rumour that they were looking at Leighton...

San Jose will most likely sign a veteran goaltender at a much better price than Nabokov... Maybe Turco or Mason and Greiss should get a legit shot at contending for number 1.

the sharks need to shake things up, starting with goaltending

Marauders · 06-26-10, 11:08 PM

Might sign with Flyers?

its about time they cut him loose

Chucker · 06-27-10, 11:15 AM

They have had such a good team even without good goaltending...look what happened to Toskala when he left and he was "just as good" as Nabby at that time.

MathewXB · 06-27-10, 05:33 PM

They will let him go but the question is where is he going to go. I am reading it is going to be the flyers! that will be weird!

blix177 · 06-27-10, 05:51 PM

why on earth would they let him go.

Salary cap issue. They had to choose between Marleau and Nabby. Nabby, as good as he has been in the regular season, just hasn't stole enough wins for the Sharks in the playoffs. Sharks probably feel they can find a cheaper replacement.

If you ever watched the Sharks on a regular basis you would understand why

His numbers have always been very misleading.

San Jose's team and style make their goaltenders look better than they really are. Just look at Toskala after he left San Jose where he put up unbelievable numbers.

especially after seeing "lesser" goalies like Niemi, Leighton, Halak, Rask carry their teams to the conference finals

Agree 100%. You have to wonder now days whether having a top end goalie really make a difference when the likes of Brodeur, Luongo etc couldn't carry their team deep in the playoffs. Then you have guys like Leighton and Niemi who comes out of no where to play well and go deep in the Stanley Cup finals.
