Hard to see him being on the Avs next year, with Blackwood re-signed and Wedgie having another left on his deal. Unless he comes over, impresses in camp, and forces the Avs to trade Wedgewood. We already know he doesn't want to play in the AHL.

We do?

I must have missed that.

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.

How long of a swim is it from Magnitogorsk to the Colorado River?

Also, I loved this quote: "Andrei Vasilevskiy, Sergei Bobrovsky, Igor Shesterkin—these are Russian goalies who have won the Vezina Trophy as the best goalies in the NHL regular season, and I want to join them," Nabokov said to RG in July.

Kid...it's a long way to the top...

Godspeed...
