Ice Scoopz: Monday Night

*-> After the recent wave of injuries the Montreal Canadiens seem content on riding out the storm with their current club and Hamilton Bulldog recruits but rumors are still active in Montreal. The Montreal faithful have been reported that the Canadiens have inquired about the availability of Florida's Stephen Weiss. Another name that keeps coming up and I've heard myself several times in Nikolai Zherdev of the Flyers who has been on the block after a disappointing slow start and the Flyers looking to shed some cap for an upgrade. Montreal is looking to add some offense to help ease the loss of their injured and provide extra insurance should another injury come their way. The disgruntled Mathieu Carle and Andrei Kostitsyn have both been rumored to be on the block and available for a swap.

*-> Peter Forsberg is reportedly experiencing far better results than he planned, some are saying that he could be ready to sign in even less than 30 days. Many believe he'll know in two weeks.

*-> I'm still hearing lots of Marian Gaborik to Los Angeles buzz around the internet, most reporters are saying its a no go despite the persistence of these rumors. The Rangers organization denied talks yesterday about Gaborik.

*-> The St. Louis Blues are still looking for offensive help after being snubbed two times by waiver claims. An irate Davidson is looking to add some firepower to his injury ravaged club. The Blues have already kicked tires at Alexei Kovalev of Ottawa and it's believed now they have interest in the struggling Devin Setoguchi out of San Jose. The San Jose Sharks are still asking for a pucking moving defenseman in return. Mikhail Grabovski is another name being floated around in St. Louis but Brian Burke is still not sold on trading one of his hottest players at this point.

Thats all for tonight more rumors in the morning.
