Hasn't it been reported by @The Mars Volchenkov that he doesn't want to come over and play in the A?

I don’t recall reading that.
The Avs would never hand him an NHL spot guaranteed without proving himself in the AHL for at least a season.
My ideal situation:
25/26 Avs: Blackwood/Wedgewood
25/26 Eagles: Nabokov starter
26/27 Avs: Blackwood/Nabokov

Yeah, I think this is the most likely plan/hope they have. Wedge will have to play poorly or have an injury for them not to go with him next year. This is pretty clearly a two year plan with the Wood duo.
Giving Nabokov a year in the AHL, while Wedgewood's deal is up after next season anyway, so the timing works perfectly for Nabokov to get a chance at earning the backup role.
