Rumours today, game tonight

Halak starts tonight against the Flyers in Philadelphia. Time will tell if the reincarnation of Ken Dryden will again turn away dozens of shots, or if the Canadiens defence will break down. 7 pm EST start, on TSN in Canada. Should be a great game.

UPDATE: Habs grab Glen Metropolit off waivers. Ossi Vaananen grabbed by Vancouver.

Rumours today:

• Bob Gainey has told Mathieu Dandenault he will attempt to accomodate his trade request
• Boston is moving hard towards acquiring Chris Pronger: The Four Period and NESN
• Pittsburgh and Toronto are discussing a Tomas Kaberle trade
• Sean Avery will be on re-entry waivers come Monday: Sportsnet
• Niklas Backstrom "must be signed by Minnesota or he'll be dealt" - Pierre McGuire, TEAM 990
• "Canadiens should be after Keith Tkachuk" - Pierre McGuire
