The Islanders never appeared to be in the running for Ilyz Bryzgalov. There were rumors that the team considered a Rick DiPietro for Roberto Luongo swap, but that never came to be and the Islanders eventually used a compliance buyout on DiPietro. By Adam Gretz. Jul 5, at am ET 1 min read. Nabokov wants to play for a winner, and the Islanders are obviously not that in his eyes. How this works is that if Nabokov were to show up and play, then he would become a free agent at the end of the season and could pick and choose where he wants to go.
Nabokov does not want that latter situation to occur, because then he cannot play for a winner until the season, and to be blunt he is not getting any younger. This listing has ended.

I've seen some general fan chatter pinning things on the Islanders defense rather than Nabokov. But if you don't think Nabokov was inadequate in this series, you probably aren't objectively watching what other playoff goalies are doing on a nightly basis to bail out their team's mistakes.
The two worst even strength save percentages of goalies who have played at least four games in the playoffs are Nabokov's and Marc-Andre Fleury. Nabokov is at. The next-worst figures minimum four games belong to Carey Price at.
That's a pretty steep curve, and it's not even getting close to the territory where Jonas Hiller. Boston are playing. And notice we haven't climbed up to the. Now, playoff series are short and it is not in my nature to condemn any player's performance based on six games.
