Peter Forsberg says he's going to make a run at getting into the best shape possible over the next three weeks and if he's healthy he wants to go to a Stanley Cup contender.
Teams that I think will be interested for sure will be Ottawa, San Jose, Philly, Vancouver....nice thing about it it will be for pure dollars without having to give up prospects, trades picks, etc. unlike other teams that will be selling off players like Sundin for a hefty pice tag.
However, whoever does get him won't be getting the MVP Forsberg of the past... but he's still a point a game guy. Even though he is injury prone, if he can play out the season he could definitely help any team who gets him, especially a team like Vancouver who needs a top six forward who can put points on the board. It'd be nice if the Canucks could nab him...would probably get his boyhood buddy, Naslund going...just don't know if the Swedish connection is enough to get him here?? Afterall, he can hang out with as many Swedes as he wants over the summer time back in Sweden so it's probably not a high priority for him.
Of course, if he is interested in some sort of connection with the Swedes I think he would opt for Zettisberg and Lidstrom so I think Detroit would definitely be in the running. Who wouldn't want to play with those gugs? And then there's Philly, where he's has a history.... so who knows?
Hopefully, Nonis will give him an offer he can't refuse and we'll take our chances that he'll stay healthy! Only time will tell.
