Through the draft the Flyers only made 2 trades, however both somewhat significant. Dan Hamhuis was the suprising tradee in the deal which saw him go to the Pens for a 3rd rounder in 2011.Jonathan Matsumoto who led the Phnatoms in scoring was traded for Carolina's 7th round pick.
Matsumoto is 23 and is set to be an RFA, but the promble is he's a center. Jon has all the tools to be in the NHL after four seasons in the minors. It was a good trade as he would have walked away if he'd not been traded.
Holmgren came out to the media on Friday say that he is optimistic the goaltender Michael Leighton would be re-sign. The concensus is that Leighton will be signed as a backup.
Flyers also have a deal with the Sharks to talk to Evgeni Nabokov who is set to be a Ufa on July 1st. The Flyers will have to give up a pick to SJ if the two sides agree on a deal by July 1st.
