Flyers Deal Hamhuis’ Rights to Pens; Inquire about Nabokov
NHLHS Philadelphia Flyers Correspondent David Strehle takes a look at the Flyers decision to move the rights to pending UFA defenseman Dan Hamhuis to the Atlantic Division rival Pittsburgh Penguins and the rumors that Paul Holmgren is talking about acquiring the rights to one of the top pending UFA goaltenders, Evgeni Nabokov.
For the Philadelphia Flyers, NHL Entry Draft day is usually a very busy time. Last year GM Paul Holmgren pulled the trigger on the Chris Pronger deal with the Anaheim Ducks, and the previous year moved forward R.J. Umberger to the Columbus Blue Jackets for a first round pick (Luca Sbisa, who ended up being dealt to Anaheim in the Pronger trade).

The Continued Playoff Plight of Patrick Marleau
NHLHS writer David Strehle takes a look at the San Jose Sharks’ playoff failures and the continued blame being placed on former captain Patrick Marleau.
Perhaps the saying that “You don’t truly appreciate what you have until it’s gone” may end up applying to San Jose Sharks center Patrick Marleau.
Despite stepping up his goal-scoring over the past few years and netting a career-high 44 this past season, whispers continue that the longest-serving player in team history may be on his way out of town if San Jose once again flops in this year’s playoffs.
