The Philadelphia Flyers might attempt to acquire Evgeni Nabokov from the New York Islanders if they are unable to sign Ilya Bryzgalov. Unlike Bryzgalov, Nabokov's cap hit borders on non-existent, which means they can acquire him without shuffling around their roster. Nabokov signed with Detroit during the 2010-11 season, but he had to clear through waivers before he could play with them. Nabokov was claimed off waivers by the New York Islanders, who he refused to play for because he didn't feel they were a good enough team. The Islanders decided to suspend Nabokov and then toll his contract, which allowed them to retain his rights for the 2011-12 season. It remains to be seen if Nabokov will be more willing to play for the Islanders next season, but they might simply trade him during the off-season. Stay tuned.
