Montreal looking at Iginla, Forsberg to sign SOON

according to Andy Strickland @ TrueHockey.com, the Montreal Canadiens have let it be known they are very interested in Jerome Iginla of the Calgary Flames, and would like to be first in line if they decide to go in that direction, it would be hard not to include Montreal in Cup talk if they were able to acquire Iggy.

Expect an announcement to come very soon with Peter Forsberg signing a deal with the Colorado Avalanche, all signs point to his heel being good to go, and only conditioning is holding him back until he his is ready.

Also a quick note:

The rumors about Erik Johnson being on the block with St. Louis are NOT true, they will not deal Erik Johnson and this one was obviously drawn from a hat.

Monday Evening NHL Rumors

I have been hearing that Los Angeles is in discussions with Ottawa involving Mike Fisher, the Kings believe that Fisher will add a veteran presence to their lineup and some grit as they try to move towards a playoff push, talks also continue with Toronto involving Brayden Schenn.

Staying with Ottawa, Owner Eugene Melnyk gave a vote of confidence at least for the rest of this season for GM Bryan Murray and Head Coach Corey Clouston.

Calgary's recent win streak has changed some minds about a full retool heading into the trade deadline, a few more wins and they may decide to run with what they have until next season.

More to come later
