One of the prevailing themes throughout the first round of the NHL Draft was that the San Jose Sharks were going to send Nabokov’s rights to the Philadelphia Flyers.

While this would make some sense for the Flyers who are in need of goaltending at this point and with Nabokov looking for a slight upgrade from his $5.375 million cap hit, it could be a match made in heaven. One thing to note though, any contract that Nabokov signs now is a 35+ contract, which means that the full cap hit does not go away if the player is bought out.
