Gray's Take: Nabokov
I'm going to keep this short.
My feelings about Nabby not reporting to the Islanders are as follows:
Hey, at least he's being honest. While I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, it's clear that he had one goal, and that goal was Detroit. He's not dicking the Isle fans around, he's straight up saying he doesn't want to play there.
Maybe he is a princess, but no one said professional athletes have to like the team that claims them on waivers. While apparently saying any team was fine and then not going to the one who claimed him is a dick move, he's not contractually bound to report if he doesn't want to. It certainly doesn't endear him to anyone, but he has his mind set on on goal, and he's going to do what he feels is best to get there. Fans disagreeing or not.
This is no reason to shit on San Jose. I saw a lot of (mostly divisional) SJ hate yesterday. You want to hate SJ, then do it but don't use Nabby as an excuse to shit all over us. Just because your smug about your team being better now doesn't mean you actually accomplished anything other than making yourself look like an ass. Take your poo party elsewhere. There's already enough crap on the internet.
