Update: The trades have started in the NHL as expected. Montreal has sent recently demoted forward Rene Bourque to Anaheim for defenseman Bryan Allen, while the Oilers and Canucks have exchanged minor leaguers Will Acton and Kellan Lain.

In other news, Los Angeles Kings defenseman Slava Voynov has been charged with a felony related to domestic abuse allegations. NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly indicated in a statement that there will be no change in Voynov's suspension status with the league.

*******
I am chasing two rumors this morning....both of which could happen at any time I am told.

First off...

The Dallas Stars and Jason Spezza are closing in on the contract...a contract I am told may "happen in conjunction with another piece of the puzzle." And that could be...

Tyler Myers....

Many teams have big interest in Tyler Myers, and I am told the two biggest at this point are the Dallas Stars and the Philadelphia Flyers...

It really does look like something is "about to give" in this situation and from what I am hearing the Sabres fans will be very happy with the return they get for Tyler...

More on this as the day goes, including a rumor blog late today/this evening.....

I have been told some really interesting news, but was also told I can't report on it until tonight...so I will wait. (my guess is somewhere between 6 and 10 pm I will be green lighted)

Potential for fireworks...

I have a strong feeling that the next 48 hours will be incredibly interesting. As one scout told me, "American Thanksgiving is next week and when you go back through time the Friday, Saturday and Sunday before Thanksgiving are when teams make big pitches. Whether or not the deals get done is of course way up in the air, but what you can be sure of... It's a big seller's market right now, with very little available... But a lot of quality over quantity.."

At 1 PM today we will be joined by Ryan Garner and we'll be talking Flyers, Oilers, rumors and more....
