Could the Philadelphia Flyers be starting their summer with signing one of the top players out of the KHL? Possibly.
Although nothing has been confirmed thus far by the team, there is growing speculation that the Flyers are close to signing KHL star winger Maxim Shabanov. According to Russian outlet Sport-Express and columnist Igor Eronko, Shabonov is on his way to sign with the Flyers.
But, after that news broke containment, several Flyers media members reached out to sources and have found only that Shabanov has not signed with Philadelphia, yet.
Shabanov was rumored as early as January to have some links to Philadelphia.
