Morris to Philly, Shelley to Oilers?

These rumours are courtesy of Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun:

The Philadelphia Flyers are interested in acquiring defenseman Derek Morris from the Phoenix Coyotes. Morris will be making around $3.9 million for the next two seasons. It's believed the Boston Bruins have also called the 'Yotes about Morris.

The Oilers have an interest in Columbus tough guy Jody Shelley, who has been a healthy scratch of late. The Oilers are looking for toughness in their bottom six forwards.

Columbus GM Scott Howson and defenseman Duvie Westcott will speak to NHL director of hockey operations Colin Campbell on Monday to discuss Wescott's crosscheck to Colorado's Scott Parker on Saturday. A suspension seem unlikely, but the league is trying to crack down on stick infractions.
