Believe NYI claimed Nabokov and be gave them a couple decent seasons.
My favorite hockey karma moment:IIRC both guys were also very well liked by their team mates.
I had no idea he was a waiver pickup. Incredible player.

That's what happens when you play with Jagr, Lemieux, Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Lidstrom etc.He scored the vast majority of his career points in his 30s. Such an odd career. He was also leading the league in scoring for a while when he was with the Caps.
He was looking good at 39 years of age as well, but then he got his Achilles sliced.

The old Intra League draft that was similar to waivers. There are other interesting names that were picked like Gerry Cheevers, Rene Robert, Vic Hadfield, Carol Vadnais...Chicago picked up Tony Esposito on waivers
He was a good player in his own right, for sureIt helps but he could really stand on his own too.
He scored something like 39 points in 50 games as a 38/39 year old primarily playing with the kostitsyn brothers in the middle 6.
He's one of the guys that will always come up in a late bloomer thread.
Hey look everyone, it's Thomas Hickey IRLThomas Hickey
