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...

So are we Will Zellers fans here? Guy is absolutely lighting it up. Think Scott Wheeler gassed him up a bit in his rankings too.

2+1 for Zellers tonight as well... He's almost at a Goal per game now.
Cant be getting too excited because the Avs scouts haven't heard that trust yet but he's having one hell of a season.
Edit: Make that 3+1 tonight. I believe he's at exactly One goal per game now.

Not sure how to judge him based on the level of skill around…he basically walked 2 D who should have easily been able to stop. It literally looks like they turned away from him.

It honestly looked like they were intentionally not trying to defend him. Goal per game is no joke just wonder given the lack of talent in the league in general.

Zellers is trending well. Very much a boom/bust type of prospect, but you have to love his confidence and that jersey number when scoring goals. Will be intriguing to watch when he makes the transition to college
