The opening day of free agency is on Saturday, however teams can speak with potential free agents leading up to that point about everything except contract terms. The news broke early today that free agent defenceman Karl Alzner will meet this week with the Montreal Canadiens management.

Obviously Alzner and his agent are doing the rounds and visiting a number of teams this week.
