New York Islanders

The Montreal Canadiens made two moves Friday to address two key areas on their roster, sending a second round pick in 2010 to the Chicago Blackhawks for center Robert Lang and signing defenseman Patrice Brisebois to a one-year contract. 

Washington Capitals forward Michael Nylander put his house up for sale and could be traded to Vancouver. The Canadiens are interested in Toronto’s Bryan McCabe to replace the offense lost when Mark Streit signed with the Islanders.
