That's a nice signing by the Devils. At 7.5 million he's one of the highest paid goalie but the Devils had little choice but to give him that salary given what he was already making. Surely Nabakov would have been one of, if not THE most highly sought of free agent this off-season. Smart of the Devs to lock him up.

Agreed, theres about 3 or 4 teams that will have a lot to spend on free agents if they want, and they all need a number one tender. By locking him up, Mike now knows what he'll have to spend to improve his team for next year. It also does help his trade value a bit too if he wants to go that route.
