Report: Flyers getting Nabokov for seventh-round pick

According to a report by Tim Panaccio on CSNPhilly.com, the Philadelphia Flyers have made the first step toward possibly solving their goaltending issue, as they have acquired Evgeni Nabokov from the San Jose Sharks.

The reported deal would see the Flyers send a 2011 seventh-round pick to the Sharks if they can sign Nabokov before he becomes an unrestricted free agent July 1.

Nabokov has a no-trade clause in his contract, but since the Sharks already have said they will not be offering him a new deal, the report says he is willing to waive it if a deal can be done with the Flyers.

Nabokov will turn 35 this summer, but he's won at least 41 games each of the past three seasons, including 44 in 2009-10, when he posted a 2.43 goals-against average and .922 save percentage
