Report: Flyers & Sharks Reach Agreement on Nabokov's Rights

According to CSNPhilly.com, the Philadelphia Flyers and San Jose Sharks have reached a verbal agreement in which the Flyers would acquire the negotiating rights to goaltender Evgeni Nabokov in exchange for a seventh round pick in the 2011 Entry Draft. The Sharks would get the pick if the Flyers are able to sign Nabokov before he becomes an unrestricted free agent on July 1. Sharks' general manager would not confirm the deal, but stated that there are some issues surrounding the negotiations and could take several days to complete. I'll have more analysis on this potential deal when more news becomes available, but if the Flyers are able to sign Nabokov, they definitely would have found the answer to their goaltending problems. However, Nabokov could command at least $5 million per season, so unless he is willing to play for $1.5 million or less, the Flyers will have to unload some salary in order to afford the Russian netminder, which should ramp up the Jeff Carter trade rumors over the next few days.
