Stars enter Forsberg derby
Oct 15 - The Stars have joined the list of teams in pursuit of free agent C Peter Forsberg, sending GM Doug Armstrong and club official Brett Hull to Sweden to try to woo him, according to the Denver Post.
Forsberg, 34, is practicing with his former Swedish club MoDo.
The Red Wings, Avalanche, Flyers, Kings and Senators have been rumored to be pursuing Forsberg, but the oft-injured star is still uncertain if he will play this season. Senators GM Bryan Murray is believed to have told Forsberg's agent, Don Baizley, that they can pay him $3M, according to the Ottawa Sun. Forsberg, who made $5.75M last season, had offseason surgery to repair an injury in his right ankle and recently had a procedure for a hernia.

This should be in the sports zone so more people have a chance of reading and responding.

But, I will go ahead and give my opinion here.

This is sheer desperation, when it looks like Niklas Hagman is going to be your goal scoring winger, you know you have problems.

The Stars dont need a scoring center, they have Mo and Riberio, what they need is a scoring winger to play with Mo before he decides to retire.

This reeks like Eric Lindros 2.0.

[Cochese]

I will go ahead and say it makes me nauseous to see bags like Mietenin playing with Modano. The Stars must not have any respect for his skill level or what he has done.

[Doomsday]

Dont do it Peter, we (Avs fans) routed you on and supported you through countless injuries do not pay us back by joining the hated Stars.

wow, thanks for the post doc.

That would supply some much needed punch come april. They would have won that first round series with him last year.

Forsberg tends to play one game and then miss three with injury.
