Ice Scoopz: Thursday Afternoon

*-> TSN has reported that free agent goaltender Evgeni Nabokov is currently is discussions and close to signing a deal with the Detroit Red Wings. An interesting development out of Detroit, not many saw the Wings as in the market for a goaltender but with recent injuries it does make sense. Remember "Nabby" would have to clear waivers and given the last few weeks free agents have been a growing target for struggling teams. I'm still hearing several teams have been waiting for another team to attempt to sign Nabokov so a claim could be made. I'm still hearing the New York Islanders and depending the price and term the Ottawa Senators. San Jose would like to fix their goaltending but they appear to be staying away from revisiting Nabokov.

*-> The Los Angeles Kings GM Dean Lombardi has told the media that he is looking for an impact forward but currently there's nothing available at the current time and the only thing teams are offering is tinkering deals. Lombardi has admitted he wants to find a left winger to play with Anze Kopitar.

*-> Nothing new yet on the Sharks it may just have been hot air this morning or just mild interest in a player around the league.
