If Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli has his way, this could be a reality. Chiarelli told ESPN.com that he would be interested in Forsberg and has had talks with his agent Don Baizley.
I have mixed feelings on this issue because the Bruins obvious need an offensive spark which Forsberg can bring. The B’s could also use another veteran to help this young team develop and once again, Forsberg can do just that but here are some problems that go with the possible deal.
Forsberg has been on again-off again in the NHL like Michael Jordon was to the NBA. There is no telling how long the veteran would stick around or more importantly stay healthy. Another issue is the position of center as the B’s already have Savard, Bergeron and Krejic which means either, Chirelli is looking to deal one of those three which I highly doubt or may want to convert one of them to a wing.
Don’t get me wrong, I like the idea of Forsberg in the locker room and we need to fill the void of Kessel but unless we can get him for a bargain basement price, I don’t think “Foppa” is the answer that the Bruins are looking for.
