The Philadelphia Flyers have reportedly shown increased interest in signing young KHL star free agent winger Maxim Shabanov and are now considered one of the frontrunners to acquire his services. There were even reports of a finalized contract, but now that we have learned that those reports are not true.

Last Friday, through Russian media outlet Sport-Express — and minor other theories such as Matvei Michkov and Egor Zamula following Shabanov on Instagram — it sure looked like the Flyers landed their guy.
