Well, I am only waiting for Peter to finish up the second Waiver Draft today and it seems clear that he won't be likely to take Peter Forsberg, who was thought to be returning to the NHL, just in time for the playoffs... again. No, Forsberg has shut down his dream to return to the best league in the world, for this season anyways. Forsberg will likely sign with the Swedish Elite League team, MoDo, for the remainder of their season, to try and test his surgically repaired foot.
It should, however, go without saying, that if his foot (or feet) stand up to the test in Sweden, that the Forsberg Sweepstakes might be an interesting story for the summer here in 2009.We are currently running a poll on the sidebar asking you what you would say to Peter Forsberg, if he wanted to join the NHL again. Of course, the poll was started before this decision to shut it down and it will be featured on Monday's Newsletter, so I'll wait to detail it any further.
Nevertheless, Forsberg will not play a part in the 2009 season or playoffs and has no fantasy value this year. Next year, mind you, he could be a prime candidate as a mild sleeper... if anyone remembers that he might be coming back.
