Eklund at it again. Forsberg to Detroit?

[Reggie Dunlop 0]

I think we all realize what an Eklund prediction means, but just thought it was worth the discussion...

Bring him on. But Lindros to Calgary? I can see that , just didnt think Sutter would be interested in the Big E

Screw forsberg.

Forsberg huh.... that would be very weird

Forsberg, yeah, right, sure, mmm hmm.

[FUUFNF 1]

meh... never been a big foppa fan... and he's another center to boot.

on an unrleated note, i liked what eklund said here:

The Ducks don't know and are basically running into cap issues now. They have been extremely patient, and the longer you go the more you start to think the Ducks are going to struggle with either decision. A source told me yesterday that desite rumours that the Ducks know what is going on with the two players, they are completely in the dark.

We'd be idiots if we had the money and ability to get Forsberg in on a one year deal under the cap and didn't take it. Don't let history cloud your judgment...the guy is worth it for sure.

[NeverForgetMac25 483]

Not that this means much, but hasn't Foresberg been on record saying he'd never play for the Red Wings because of the rivalry of the past.

I don't want him here, I think he will want too much money and then he will most likely get hurt and won't even have any impact other than eating up cap space.

i'd take forsberg in a heartbeat........can someone put up a pick of forsberg in a wings uniform to see what he'd look like ?? im sure it would fit him nicely lol

Why, didn't do Nashville much good did it?

[Guest jaytan]

I've hated that piece of garbage since before he even darkened the NHL with his presence. I hope he never plays another game in his life.

I doubt a hockey player in the modern era would say something like that. Especially with his friend Lidstrom on the team.

So, you're saying you're a fan of his work?

TBH, I do believe he was quoted as saying that at some time.

When he left the Avs , he said he'd never play for the Canucks. He'd come here because 2 of his best friends play here in Lidstrom and Holmstrom.

Nashville had a whole host of problems. Forsberg scoring 4 points in 5 playoff games doesn't sound like one of them.

EDIT: 871 Career points to 691 games played. Sounds good to me.

Cheli said something about the red shirts never wanting to play for them... now looky where he is going to retire! Or was that never on record?

I think he means only if Forsberg is healthy...

i hope this happens so bad. just for the reactions here, it would be the biggest 180 a fanbase has ever done on a player. Forsberg would go from being a diving-crying-pansy to one of the greatest players ever to take the ice.

And good god even though it didn't do them that much good... I still heard a lot of people s***ting bricks about playing a Nashville team with Forsberg in the Lineup.

And as stated... his playoff stats are quite nice as well.

no kidding, Sullivan missed the entire playoffs. Hartnell and Timonen were playing hurt. Radulov was out for a game and a half of that series. Erat missed two games and was playing badly hurt when he was back. We actually had to dress Darcy Hordichuk and Ramzi Abid for two games.

the Forsberg-Radulov combination was the only thing going for us besides Dumont and at times Vokoun.

Agreed.

[FinWing 26]

We have no need for him, we need a winger and preferably someone without so many injury troubles.

I know just how you feel. I hope the Predabillys move to Winnipeg so they can then be appreciated and the Nashville fans can go back to rootin' at tractor pulls.

[Guest Lebda4Pres]

I dont like FOrsberg but i think with all the swedes we have he would be a good fit and hes a sniper plus its eitehr us or vancouver becasue PHilly cant afford him
