Nabokov is far from done, but he's no longer the elite twine-tender he was when he was in his early 30s. Still, he can deliver decent numbers in a backup role, especially in the Bolts' structure. He'll play behind some defenders who can actually prevent scoring chances, for once. He will likely see upwards of 30 games to help starter Ben Bishop stay fresh. He's a great handcuff in daily leagues and you may even get value in deep, three-goalie leagues.
